Which outcome reduces the neutron absorption cross-section in nuclear fuel?

💡 Explanation

More homogeneous binding energies prevent selective neutron capture via specific nuclear energy levels, which otherwise increases absorption via neutron activation; therefore, a more consistent binding energy reduces reactivity, rather than increased fission product presence influencing neutron capture probability.
