Which risk increases when reactor coolant is lost?

💡 Explanation

Loss of coolant allows fuel overheating and meltdown, potentially leading to an uncontrolled *chain reaction* because reduced neutron absorption increases fission rates. Therefore, a chain reaction risk increases, rather than issues in neutron moderation or artificial fuel enrichment.
