Which consequence results when insufficient moderator is present in a CANDU reactor?

💡 Explanation

An insufficiently moderated CANDU exhibits diminished neutron slowing because neutron moderation reduces speed via kinetic energy transfer. Therefore, the probability of uncontrolled fission leading to a fuel meltdown accelerates, rather than an incremental efficiency change.
