Which risk increases when heat removal fails during nuclear fission?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated fuel cladding oxidation rapidly occurs because radiative decay chain heating continues after prompt fission stops, therefore producing excessive heat and accelerating oxidation reactions rather than other moderation failures, which involve longer timescale effects.
