Which outcome occurs when control rods fail to fully insert within a nuclear reactor core?

💡 Explanation

An uncontrolled chain reaction occurs because the control rods mediate neutron absorption; therefore, without sufficient neutron absorption, critical mass is reached, causing an exponential surge in fissions, rather than a stable or declining reaction rate.
