← ScienceWhich outcome results when gravitational mass increases inside a nuclear reactor core?
A)Spacetime curvature shifts; reactor efficiency dips✓
B)Neutron flux stabilizes; moderation increases
C)Control rods eject; chain reaction dampens
D)Coolant density oscillates; pressure equalizes
💡 Explanation
Increasing the mass causes spacetime curvature via the equivalence principle; because a stronger gravitational field warps spacetime more. This shift negatively affects reactor efficiency, therefore spacetime alteration hinders performance, rather than other stabilizing/dampening neutron activity outcomes.
