Which event occurs when neutron moderators fail in fission?

💡 Explanation

Slowing down occurs primarily because neutron moderation decreases, stopping the chain reaction. The *neutron thermalization* mechanism relies on moderators to reduce neutron speed; therefore, the fissile isotopes stop effectively absorbing the impact rather than causing higher reactions.
