Which consequence results when a Strontium-90 radiation source self-heats?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature adds energy into the Strontium-90 system and accelerates radioactive *beta decay* because the increased excitation overcomes decay process constraints; therefore the decay rate increases exponentially rather than linearly as temperature climbs; the inverse doesn't happen.
