Which outcome is likely as depleted uranium-238 decays?

A)Increased alpha particle radiation detected✓

B)The rate of fusion decreases significantly

C)Proton numbers rapidly shift upward

D)Neutron capture leads to instability

💡 Explanation

Alpha decay emits alpha particle radiation because the isotope undergoes radioactive decay via quantum tunnelling. Therefore, activity of alpha particles increases rather than decreasing significantly during fusion, as fusion doesn't occur here.
