Which effect increases with deuterium concentration increases in a nuclear moderator?

💡 Explanation

Increased deuterium means increased heavy water. The neutron moderation cross-section increases because deuterium has lower neutron capture, therefore allowing for more efficient slowing of neutrons, rather than moderation becoming less effective because of increased capture.
