Which effect accelerates transmutation in spent nuclear fuel?

💡 Explanation

Increased neutron flux due to neutron capture cross-section increase enhances transmutation because the neutron flux dictates reaction rates, therefore transmutation occurs faster, rather than processes linked to temperature or reactivity that indirectly relate by changing reaction kinetics.
