Which risk increases when enriched Uranium-235 fuel rods in a nuclear reactor experience excessive neutron flux?

💡 Explanation

An uncontrolled chain fission reaction starts because increased flux escalates the fission rate beyond coolant capacity, therefore meltdown is more likely, rather than increased moderator effectiveness limiting fission events.
