Which outcome results when a power plant control rod malfunctions?

💡 Explanation

Runaway fission occurs because the control rod normally maintains neutron flux. This **neutron absorption** process prevents uncontrolled chain reactions; therefore a runaway reaction happens, rather than other thermal or mechanical failures under normal control.
