← ScienceWhich changes cause increased fission energy gain in enriched uranium reactor fuel pellets?
A)Increased neutron moderation and thermalisation
B)Decreased parasitic neutron absorption events
C)Higher nuclear binding energy per nucleon✓
D)Reduced fuel pellet operating temperatures
💡 Explanation
Greater fission product nuclide instability occurs caused by lower nuclear binding energy because daughter nuclei achieve increased stability than uranium-235; therefore, higher potential energy release upon fission rather than structural pellet changes during operation..
