Which outcome results when increased neutron albedo occurs within a reactor core?

💡 Explanation

Increased neutron albedo raises neutron flux because increased neutron REFLECTION, therefore raising the rate of nuclear fission within the fuel pellets, rather than increasing reactivity control or decay heat reduction which would occur by adjusting shielding or coolant flow.
