Which risk increases when thermal hydraulic limits are exceeded reactor core heat during sustained induced nuclear fission?

💡 Explanation

Mechanical over-pressurization risk increases because increased temperatures cause rapid water transition to steam, driving exponential system pressure increase, due to sudden volume expansion from changed phase. Therefore the answer is cladding failure from over-pressurization rather than other core operating changes under slower heating.
