Which risk increases when heavy nuclei with excess neutrons decay?

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous fission occurs more readily because the neutron-rich nuclei are lessstable, increasing the probability of overcoming the fission barrier. Therefore, the fission rate escalates in these isotopes rather than triggering cascade beta decays.
