Which risk dramatically increases after spent nuclear fuel undergoes Beta decay?

💡 Explanation

The risk from spent fuel undergoing Beta decay rises because it transforms isotopes resulting in higher neutron cross-sections. This increases the possibility of induced fission, therefore amplifying reactivity rather than simply reducing cladding or heat due to alpha emission.
