Which consequence results when decay heat overwhelms reactor cooling?

💡 Explanation

Overwhelmed cooling causes increased temperature; therefore, high temperature initiates rapid oxidation via oxidation kinetics, rather than eroding turbine blades or ejecting control rods, because these are responses to independent reactor parameters.
