← ScienceWhich mechanism limits the energy released during nuclear fission?
A)Nuclear binding energy saturation✓
B)Neutron thermalization cross-section
C)Pair production threshold increase
D)Bremsstrahlung radiation energy losses
💡 Explanation
Energy release ceases because the **nuclear binding energy saturation** point is reached as smaller nuclei are increasingly stable; therefore fission stops releasing energy, rather than producing even more energy via alternative decay events.
