← ScienceWhich outcome accelerates decay when tritium embrittlement occurs?
A)Void formation within the metal✓
B)Increased surface passivation formation rate
C)Enhanced gamma ray emission shielding
D)Decreased neutron absorption cross section
💡 Explanation
Void formation accelerates decay because tritium, produced by radioactive decay, accumulates at grain boundaries. This concentrates stress via void coalescence, weakening the material through vacancy diffusion, generating pathways for rapid crack propogation rather than stable lattice structures during decay.
