← ScienceWhich risk increases when depleted uranium shielding experiences neutron bombardment?
A)Isotopes decay accelerating gamma emission
B)Induced fission causes detectable radiation✓
C)Increased binding energy stabilizes isotopes
D)Material density decreases via alpha decay
💡 Explanation
Neutron bombardment can induce fission in certain uranium isotopes. If this occurs, fission fragments emit radiation because unstable nuclei splitting releases energy that overcomes Nuclear binding energy; therefore the risk of detectable radiation increases rather than isotope stabilization via increased binding.
