Which 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.
