Which consequence results from exceeding Polonium-210's critical quenching diameter?

A)Increased alpha particle emission velocity
B)Spontaneous fission chain reaction initiation
C)Reduced binding energy per nucleon
D)Delayed gamma radiation emission peak

💡 Explanation

Reduced binding energy because the quenching diameter prevents efficient energy transfer. Therefore, nuclei become less stable due to inefficient distribution of strong nuclear force rather than fission, because that needs critical mass and high neutron flux.
