← ScienceWhich risk increases during spent nuclear fuel pool storage?
A)Recriticality event begins sustained fission✓
B)Alpha decay causes cladding corrosion
C)Beta emission induces fuel swelling
D)Gamma radiation causes structural embrittlement
💡 Explanation
Recriticality risk increases, therefore a sustained fission chain becomes probable, because neutron moderation can occur with accumulating fissile material. This induces criticality rather than cladding alterations or embrittlement from decay.
