Which outcome occurs when excess neutrons accumulate post-fission?

💡 Explanation

Excess neutrons trigger delayed neutron emission because neutron-rich fission products undergo subsequent beta decay. This increases the population of delayed neutron precursors; therefore, neutron emission becomes more common rather than a faster decay halting gamma emission directly.
