Which outcome results when increased neutron absorption reduces nuclear binding within reactor fuel rods?

💡 Explanation

Decreased neutron population reduces reactivity and chain reaction frequency; reduced nuclear binding reduces fission, causing lower energy output is because fewer reactions occur. Thus the *neutron poison slowing*, therefore power lessens rather than increasing, owing to thermal gradients affecting coolant.
