Which outcome occurs when a CANDU reactor undergoes voiding?

A)Power excursion escalates critically
B)Fission fragments transmute to actinides
C)Coolant increases neutron capture
D)Reactor kinetics immediately stabilizes

💡 Explanation

Voiding causes a positive feedback loop because neutron moderation decreases in the coolant, therefore power excursion escalates due to increased reactivity and neutron flux, rather than coolant stabilization because moderator density declines.
