← ScienceWhich outcome results when asymmetric fission reactions occur in nuclear fuel?
A)Neutron moderation becomes less predictable✓
B)Increased generation of delayed neutrons
C)Fuel core experiences uniform expansion
D)Enriched isotopes are consumed evenly
💡 Explanation
Asymmetric fission yields daughter nuclides with differing neutron affinities, affecting the local neutron flux because the microscopic cross-sections vary; this leads to less predictable neutron moderation rather than controlled consumption, therefore skewing reactor control.
