Which risk increases notably when isotopes accumulate in nuclear fuel?

💡 Explanation

Increased isotope buildup raises risk of neutron absorption, causing reactor instability because increasing numbers slow and absorb free neutrons via neutron capture, rather tha supporting sustained reaction; therefore neutron flux becomes harder to maintain.
