← ScienceWhich risk increases within reactor shielding when neutron flux decays?
A)Shielding embrittlement accelerates over time
B)Gamma radiation intensity diminishes slowly✓
C)Heat load from daughters increases
D)Neutron activation cross-section remains level
💡 Explanation
Gamma intensity diminishes slower following neutron decay because of the **buildup effect** of long-lived radioactive daughter products. Therefore, gamma radiation remains a threat longer, rather than a quick drop with neutron flux alone.
