Which mechanism prevents uncontrolled energy escalation in a nuclear reactor?

💡 Explanation

Doppler broadening widens the neutron absorption spectrum of uranium because increased fuel temperature causes greater thermal motion. Increased neutron capture reduces reactivity; therefore thermal runaway is prevented, rather than driven by neutron moderation at lower energies.
