Which outcome results when asymmetric fission reactions occur in nuclear fuel?

A)Neutron moderation becomes less predictable
B)Increased generation of delayed neutrons
C)Fuel core experiences uniform expansion
D)Enriched isotopes are consumed evenly

💡 Explanation

Asymmetric fission yields daughter nuclides with differing neutron affinities, affecting the local neutron flux because the microscopic cross-sections vary; this leads to less predictable neutron moderation rather than controlled consumption, therefore skewing reactor control.
