← ScienceWhich risk increases when fission reactors lack negative feedback?
A)Uncontrolled exponential chain reactions occur✓
B)Coolant pump cavitation induces vibration
C)Zirconium cladding corrosion accelerates
D)Fission product decay heat decreases
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled exponential chain reactions happen because supercriticality reaches prompt criticality. Doppler broadening acts as negative feedback; therefore, without it, the reactor cannot self-stabilize, rather than experiencing other chemical or thermal changes.
