Which outcome occurs following excessive tritium buildup in a CANDU reactor?

💡 Explanation

Excessive tritium production, an isotope of hydrogen, increases neutron absorption because tritium’s cross-section for neutron capture is significantly higher than normal hydrogen. Therefore, neutron flux decreases rather than increases, and reactivity maintenance demands different enrichment strategies.
