Which consequence results when a pressure vessel's insulation degrades?

A)Increased rate of corrosion under insulation
B)Reduced likelihood of hydrogen embrittlement
C)Enhanced cryogenic fluid stability properties
D)Decreased molecular vibration within the coolant

💡 Explanation

Corrosion Under Insulation occurs because the degraded insulation allows moisture ingress promoting electrochemical reactions; therefore the corrosion rate sharply increases, rather than hydrogen embrittlement occurring because that correlates with material choice.
