← ScienceWhich decay product increases when spent nuclear fuel rods undergo neutron emission?
A)Cesium-137 concentration increases predictably✓
B)Plutonium-239 undergoes alpha decay
C)Iodine-131 transmutes instantly
D)Uranium-235 spontaneously undergoes fission
💡 Explanation
Neutron emission induces beta decay in fission fragments; because Cesium-137 is a common product, its concentration increases due to beta decay transforming neutron-rich isotopes; therefore, A is correct, rather than others, which describe different decay outcomes or elements.
