Which outcome occurs when a pressurized water reactor undergoes rapid boron dilution?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled reaction occurs via increased neutron multiplication factor. Introducing un-borated water increases neutron availability because boron absorbs neutrons, therefore a rapid dilution initiates rapid reactivity insertion, rather than stable power as the control rods cannot compensate immediately.
