Which consequence occurs when Xenon-135 concentrates within a reactor core?

💡 Explanation

Xenon-135 is a strong neutron absorber, therefore reactor power drops rapidly due to *neutron poisoning* following uranium fission. This is because it absorbs neutrons, rather than leading to increased temperature or altered flux.
