Which consequence results when U-235 undergoes neutron-induced fission?

💡 Explanation

Runaway criticality happens because fission emits neutrons, which then stimulate further fission events by the mechanism of nuclear chain reaction; therefore, escalation occurs rather than stabilization or other decay changes, and no external constraints halt the rising reaction rate.
