Which process initiates when depleted uranium isotopes absorb thermalneutrons?

💡 Explanation

Neutron activation occurs because capture transmutates unstable isotopes; therefore gamma and particle emission are probable, rather than it inducing fission or transmutation. Alpha relies on inherent instability and strong force regulates rather than initiates.
