Which mechanism leads to uncontrolled heat generation in moderator-rejected nuclear reactor configurations?

💡 Explanation

Increased neutron flux causes exponential fission events, leading to excessive energy release via a **neutron chain reaction**, because the moderator normally absorbs neutrons, slowing the reactions; therefore, excess neutron release occurs rather than stable fission at designed levels.
