Which consequence dominates immediately following nuclear reactor SCRAM?

💡 Explanation

Fission continues due to radioactive decay of fission products generated during operation; this decay releases energy through Beta decay, creating afterheat. Therefore, decay heat dominates rather than rapid resumption of criticality because control rods damp the neutron flux.
