Which risk increases when molten salt reactors lack isotope control?

A)Elevated delayed neutron fraction
B)Reduced fuel salt viscosity
C)Proliferation of fissile material
D)Increased graphite neutron moderation

💡 Explanation

Proliferation risk rises because radiochemical separation extracts isotopes into plutonium-239 via neutron capture by uranium-238 (from fertile material). Isotope control mitigates this by minimizing production of reactor-grade plutonium; therefore reducing the risk, rather than altering neutron kinetics.
