← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when uranium ore decays beyond capacity?
A)Lead isotopes accumulate in the rock✓
B)Fission events sharply increase
C)Criticality risk rises substantially
D)Radioactivity decreases exponentially quicker
💡 Explanation
Lead isotopes accumulate because uranium undergoes a series of alpha and beta decays involving alpha particles to reach stability through radioactive decay, therefore lead, rather than other elements, is the final product, as other decay paths are suppressed.
