Which consequence results when containment fails in fission?

A)Uncontrolled chain reaction proliferation
B)Moderator poisoning halts criticality
C)Delayed neutron emission ceases
D)Breeding produces fissle plutonium

💡 Explanation

Failure of a reactor's containment leads to an uncontrolled chain reaction proliferation because control rods can't recapture released neutrons, causing exponential amplification without regulation; therefore, thermal energy spikes rather than stabilizing alternatives with less released activity.
