← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a molten salt reactor experiences coolant voiding?
A)Neutron moderation becomes less efficient✓
B)Delayed neutron fraction is drastically increased
C)Reactor core temperature evenly stabilizes
D)Fission product volatility suddenly decreases
💡 Explanation
Reduced coolant density leads to decreased neutron moderation in molten salt reactors; this causes reduced fission because neutrons are less likely to cause U-235 fission. This reduces reactor power rather than increasing power with a prompt criticality event.
