Which outcome results when radioactive sample shielding fails?

💡 Explanation

Increased ambient ionizing radiation exposure occurs when shielding fails because more alpha, beta, and gamma particles escape via **radiation leakage**, rather than being absorbed. Therefore, radiation exposure increases; critical mass changes, half-life, and neutrino emission remain unaffected.
