Which instability grows when neutron flux excessively increases?

A)Xenon poisoning halts sustained fission
B)Doppler broadening reduces U-238 absorption
C)Reactivity runaway accelerates chain reaction
D)Control rod insertion abruptly quenches fission

💡 Explanation

A reactivity runaway occurs because excess neutron flux accelerates fission in fissile material via a positive feedback loop. Therefore, the reaction increases exponentially, rather than being dampened by moderator feedback or control systems.
