← ScienceWhich consequence results when enriched uranium isotopes accumulate in a reactor's neutron reflector?
A)Xenon-135 neutron poisoning increases
B)Increased control rod reactivity occurs
C)Localized criticality excursions risks rise✓
D)Cladding structural fatigue strength decreases
💡 Explanation
Neutron reflector enrichment leads to prompt criticality excursions because moderation increases neutron flux within fuel geometries, therefore runaway fission occurs rather than controlled power shifts because moderation is beyond feedback loop capability.
