Which risk increases when thorium-232 captures a neutron?

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous fission risk rises because neutron capture by thorium-232 leads to thorium-233, briefly protractinating the decay pathway to uranium-233. Induced binding destabilization therefore facilitates this induced decay branch, rather than stabilizing to alternative decay pathways with gamma emission.
