Which byproduct results when neutron moderation lags uranium-235 fission?

💡 Explanation

Increased neutron absorption causes xenon-135 accumulation because neutron moderation lags, inhibiting further fission via neutron poisoning; therefore xenon increases, rather than neutron production if the moderation operated within design.
