Which outcome occurs when a nuclear power plant's cooling efficiency decreases?

💡 Explanation

Reduced cooling lowers the effectiveness of the Rankine Cycle, leading to reduced energy conversion; the *lower temperature differential* prevents the efficient creation of steam. Therefore, less electricity is generated, rather than affecting neutron moderation or radiation, which are functions separate from thermal energy transfer.
