← ScienceWhich outcome results when deuterium enrichment plateaus in heavy water reactors?
A)Neutron moderation becomes fully optimized
B)Tritium production matches removal rate
C)Chain reaction efficiency stabilizes noticeably✓
D)Fuel cladding corrosion accelerates significantly
💡 Explanation
Chain reaction efficiency stabilizes because isotopic enrichment affects neutron absorption cross-sections; therefore, reactor power reaches a sustainable level rather than exceeding design limits under increasing isotope concentration.
