← ScienceWhich outcome is accelerated within reactor fuel rods due to neutron moderation?
A)Induced nuclear fission rate✓
B)Primary coolant heat capacity
C)Delayed neutron production efficiency
D)Control rod neutron absorption cross-section
💡 Explanation
The induced nuclear fission rate increases because neutron moderation slows neutrons, thereby raising the probability of capture by fissile nuclei. Because fission rate increases, therefore heat output rises, rather than other moderator influenced outcomes related to neutron behavior alone.
