Which consequence results when coolant lacks isotopic purification in CANDU reactors?

💡 Explanation

Gamma radiation increases when isotopic purification fails because neutron activation of deuterium yields tritium, which beta decays into helium-3, releasing gamma rays through inverse beta decay. Therefore, increased gamma emissions happen, rather than tritium production declining from isotopic imbalances.
