Which outcome diminishes when nuclear binding energy decreases inside Uranium-235?

A)Induced fission reaction’s neutron production
B)Critical mass required for sustained reaction
C)Rate of spontaneous alpha decay
D)Probability of electron capture emission

💡 Explanation

Decreased nuclear binding energy reduces the force holding the nucleus together, impairing criticality because the collective energy needed diminishes. Therefore, the critical mass escalates, rather than other radiation type alterations which stem from quantum tunneling, not stability.
