Which limit is reached due to neutron absorption in a CANDU reactor?

A)Fuel enrichment equilibrium point reached
B)Thermal hydraulic instability intensifies
C)Void coefficient becomes positive
D)Xenon poisoning halts chain reaction

💡 Explanation

Neutron absorption leads to isotope transmutation, therefore reaching fuel composition equilibrium because the rate of fissile nuclide production matches depletion, rather than reactor instability or positive void coefficient, which happen in different situations.
