Which outcome occurs when U-235 enrichment stops for MOX fuel?

A)Reduced neutron emission rate occurs
B)Increased alpha particle emission begins
C)Spontaneous fission yield stabilises
D)Beta decay chain equilibrium arrests

💡 Explanation

Beta decay progression halts because without neutron capture, U-239 transmutation stops; therefore, decay equilibrium freezes rather than continues with constant adjustment, which requires continual neutron flux and transmutation of elements within the fuel matrix.
