← ScienceWhich consequence results when neutron emission lags in fission?
A)Delayed reactor power fluctuations arise✓
B)Fuel breeding ratio instantly doubles
C)Criticality becomes inherently stable
D)Radioactive daughter products immediately vanish
💡 Explanation
Delayed criticality occurs because neutron precursors undergo beta decay, yielding neutrons later; therefore reactor power can fluctuate, rather than remaining stable due to a prompt critical condition, influencing control dynamics.
