← ScienceWhich risk dramatically increases if nucleons' average binding decreases?
A)Increased probability of spontaneous fission✓
B)Enhanced strong nuclear interaction stability
C)Decreased rate of beta decay
D)Reduced neutron capture cross-section
💡 Explanation
Spontaneous fission probability sharply rises when the strong nuclear force weakens because decreased average Binding Energy results in less energy required to deform the nucleus. Therefore, fission becomes more likely, rather than exhibiting greater stability or decreased beta decay.
