← ScienceWhich radioactive decay increases neutron emission risk around enriched uranium?
A)Spontaneous fission neutron emission✓
B)Alpha decay induced material sputtering
C)Beta decay induced electron avalanches
D)Cluster decay changing atomic number
💡 Explanation
Spontaneous fission increases neutron emission because the uranium nucleus itself splits, directly releasing multiple neutrons during nuclear decay; therefore increased neutron flux occurs, rather than from alpha or beta decay alone.
