← ScienceWhich outcome is promoted by maximizing moderator effectiveness in fission?
A)Increased neutron moderation and collisions✓
B)Decreased energy production fluctuation
C)Increased heavy element energy absorption
D)Slower fuel consumption expansion rate
💡 Explanation
Increased moderator effectiveness enhances neutron slowing via elastic collisions, and further fissions become probable because slow neutrons are more readily captured by fissile isotopes. Therefore, efficient moderation promotes neutron collisions, rather than less neutron capture/further range, or faster reaction.
