← ScienceWhich effect accelerates decay when Uranium concentrates beyond criticality?
A)Increased neutron flux and fission✓
B)Enhanced alpha particle emission
C)Suppressed beta decay pathways
D)Stabilized daughter isotope formation
💡 Explanation
Increased Uranium concentrations amplify neutron flux, which stimulates more fissions. Therefore, radioactive decay accelerates because neutron-induced fission overcomes inherent decay rates, rather than mere alpha/beta emissions or isotope stabilization under criticality conditions.
