← ScienceWhich chain reaction effect results in fuel rod cladding failure during coolant loss in a reactor?
A)Increased neutron moderation by steam
B)Doppler broadening of fuel absorption
C)Void coefficient induces supercriticality✓
D)Delayed neutron lifetime decreases rapidly
💡 Explanation
The void coefficient causes increased reactivity and a power surge following coolant loss because neutron absorption decreases therefore power escalates triggering the positive feedback loop and overheating, rather than immediate stabilization.
