Which process causes increased neutron flux within reactor fuel rods?

💡 Explanation

Neutron moderation occurs because U-235 isotopes undergo induced fission, releasing multiple neutrons at lower energies, therefore, flux increases locally, rather than from gamma emissions (Bremsstrahlung) or poisoning that inhibit the fission chain reaction.
