Which outcome increases risk when a radioactive waste container corrodes?

💡 Explanation

Corrosion breaches containment, accelerating radioactive decay producing daughter nuclides; therefore, concentration increases because increased material surface area exposes material to decay, rather than containerized waste lowering ambient radiation.
