Which process limits iodine-131 use immediately post nuclear reactor shutdown?

A)Natural radioactive decay reduces emission
B)The Doppler effect disrupts measurement
C)Void coefficient induces neutron flux
D)Xenon poisoning captures many neutrons

💡 Explanation

Xenon poisoning limits use because high neutron absorption creates operational instability, therefore preventing reactor restart rather than isotopic decay, which is comparatively slow. Decay is the correct mechanism, however Doppler broadening is always active, and void coefficient is unrelated.
