Which constraint impacts sustained fission within a pressurized heavy-water reactor?

💡 Explanation

The neutron moderation efficiency limits sustained fission because insufficient moderation leads to neutron capture without further fission events; therefore self-sustaining reaction ends, rather than variations in cooling or cladding performance under standard operating temp constraints.
