Which outcome occurs when boron concentration decreases within a nuclear reactor's coolant?

💡 Explanation

Decreased boron enables increased _neutron moderation_, raising reactivity from increased thermal fissions, because boron absorbs fewer neutrons. Therefore, the fission rate increases, rather than coolant issues, which address a different physical restraint.
