Which outcome follows unexpectedly increasing percentage of deuterium isotopes?

A)Elevated neutron moderation reactor power
B)Reduced heat transfer pump efficiency
C)Coolant chemical injection system corrosion
D)Decreased turbine bearing lubricant viscosity

💡 Explanation

Increased deuterium enhances neutron moderation due to its higher neutron capture cross-section resulting in additional fissions; control systems must react rapidly, because this increased reactivity otherwise raises power rather than maintains steady-state operation.
