Which process increases when unstable isotopes transmute in spent fuel rods?

💡 Explanation

A transmutation generates additional neutrons as unstable isotopes decay to more stable configurations; this process is termed neutron flux because neutrons are released rather than other subatomic elements. Therefore, neutron flux increase, broadening does not.
