Which decay product increases when spent nuclear fuel is submerged?

💡 Explanation

Soluble gases increase because of radioactive decay produces volatile byproducts released into the water—specifically noble gases are often trapped within the fuel matrix; therefore noble gasses, rather than alternatives, increase in water, because these aren't soluble.
