Which outcome occurs when a thermal reactor surpasses temperature limits?

A)Core meltdown and steam explosion
B)Increased neutron moderation efficiency
C)Reduced criticality due to Doppler broadening
D)Elevated convective heat dissipation

💡 Explanation

Core meltdown occurs if temperatures exceed design limits because of runaway nuclear chain reaction. This leads to rapid steam creation and pressure buildup, triggering a steam explosion; therefore A, rather than increased neutron moderation or heat dissipation which would prevent meltdown.
