Which outcome occurs when a CANDU reactor undergoes voiding?

💡 Explanation

Voiding causes a positive feedback loop because neutron moderation decreases in the coolant, therefore power excursion escalates due to increased reactivity and neutron flux, rather than coolant stabilization because moderator density declines.
