Which risk increases for materials undergoing beta decay?

A)Increased lattice defect concentration
B)Enhanced gamma ray shielding needs
C)Elevated rates of alpha emission
D)Higher probability of spontaneous fission

💡 Explanation

Lattice defects increase because transmutation induces displacement cascades; beta decay changes a neutron to a proton in the nucleus, therefore charge imbalance causes atomic displacement rather than requiring increased shielding from gammas under these circumstances.
