Which risk increases when the cooling capacity is significantly limited in a pressurized water reactor?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled supercriticality risks emerge because a lack of cooling allows fuel temperature to rise; therefore, thermal neutron capture decreases, and the neutron flux increases, causing the **fission** rate to rise to dangerous levels rather than remaining stable.
