Which consequence results when tritium isotopic contamination occurs?

A)Increased beta decay event rate
B)Enhanced neutron absorption cross-section
C)Suppressed alpha particle emission
D)Elevated gamma radiation shielding needs

💡 Explanation

Increased beta decay occurs because tritium undergoes radioactive decay, leading to higher rates; this process is named beta decay, therefore an increased rate is the outcome from this, rather than, alpha or gamma changes which have different nuclear decay causes.
