Which risk increases in a nuclear fuel rod undergoing neutron capture?

💡 Explanation

Increased accumulation of isotopes after neutron capture leads to increased buildup of fission products because transmutation occurs, therefore contamination is high rather than the other options, that relate to reactivity changes or breeding.
