Which outcome increases risk when a radioactive waste container corrodes?

A)Elevated daughter nuclide concentration nearby
B)Reduced neutron moderation efficiency onsite
C)Increased helium gas buildup inside
D)Decreased container radiation shielding effect

💡 Explanation

Corrosion breaches containment, accelerating radioactive decay producing daughter nuclides; therefore, concentration increases because increased material surface area exposes material to decay, rather than containerized waste lowering ambient radiation.
