← ScienceWhich risk potentially arises when attempting cold fusion?
A)Neutron capture creating radioactive isotopes✓
B)Spontaneous fission cascade of deuterons
C)Direct conversion releasing gamma radiations
D)Destructive interference reducing binding affinity
💡 Explanation
Neutron capture is a risk in cold fusion because the excess availability of neutrons and low energy levels allow them to be absorbed by nuclei promoting transmutation therefore creating a radioactive isotope rather than a stable atom given different conditions.
