← ScienceWhich consequence results when a pressurized water reactor's (PWR) tritium production exceeds its design limit?
A)Increased risk of fuel rod failure
B)Elevated dose to plant personnel✓
C)Decreased moderator coolant heat capacity
D)Diminished neutron moderation efficiency
💡 Explanation
Elevated tritium increases radiation exposure, because *beta decay* releases energetic electrons directly, therefore increasing radiation risk for personnel rather than directly impacting the reactor core materials or operation’s thermal efficiency.
