← ScienceWhich process initiates when depleted uranium isotopes absorb thermalneutrons?
A)Neutron activation yielding daughter products✓
B)Spontaneous alpha decay with helium release
C)Artificial transmutation into plutonium isotopes
D)Strong force increase inhibiting further changes
💡 Explanation
Neutron activation occurs because capture transmutates unstable isotopes; therefore gamma and particle emission are probable, rather than it inducing fission or transmutation. Alpha relies on inherent instability and strong force regulates rather than initiates.
