Which consequence results when an emergency coolant injection failure occurs in a pressurized water reactor?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled chain reaction escalation will occur because the loss of coolant triggers increased neutron flux via Doppler broadening. Doppler broadening increases neutron absorption resonances at higher energies; therefore, the energy shifts, speeding up the reaction, rather than efficiency increasing.
