← ScienceWhich consequence results when tritium isotopic contamination occurs?
A)Increased beta decay event rate✓
B)Enhanced neutron absorption cross-section
C)Suppressed alpha particle emission
D)Elevated gamma radiation shielding needs
💡 Explanation
Increased beta decay occurs because tritium undergoes radioactive decay, leading to higher rates; this process is named beta decay, therefore an increased rate is the outcome from this, rather than, alpha or gamma changes which have different nuclear decay causes.
