← ScienceWhich limit affects a reactor cooled using heavy water?
A)Maximum acceptable tritium concentration✓
B)Fission product neutron absorption rates
C)Coolant flow boiling point stability
D)Moderator reactivity feedback coefficient
💡 Explanation
Elevated tritium concentration arises from neutron activation of deuterium isotopes, and this must be removed using cryogenic separation methods. Otherwise, tritium buildup necessitates frequent heavy water replacement rather than altered fission or cooling limits; moreover stability isn't changed.
