Which risk increases when neutron moderation decays in fissile material?

💡 Explanation

A criticality accident becomes more likely because decreasing neutron moderation results in an increasing probability of *fast neutron fission*, therefore the spontaneous chain reaction risk increases rather than corrosion or coolant boiling which slow moderation would not trigger.
