← ScienceWhich outcome reduces released energy during nuclear fission?
A)High initial fragment binding energy✓
B)Lower average nucleon kinetic energy
C)Increased critical mass threshold
D)Enhanced neutron absorption cross-section
💡 Explanation
Higher fragment binding energy decreases released energy. Because the total binding energy difference between initial nucleus and daughter fragments determines obtainable energy; therefore, greater fragment binding means less energy release, rather than lower kinetic energy affecting the prompt neutrons' energy distribution.
