Which outcome results when cooling a molten thorium fluoride salt reactor?

A)Neutron moderation capability decreases sharply
B)Parasitic neutron absorption increases moderately
C)Delayed neutron fraction becomes exceptionally large
D)Fission product volatility is acutely intensified

💡 Explanation

Neutron moderation capability decreases sharply because the temperature coefficient is negative; therefore, fission reaction rates reduce heavily, rather than resulting in changes specific to decay neutrons or heightened fission product evaporation.
