Which risk increases when spent nuclear fuel undergoes radioactive decay?

💡 Explanation

Increased risk of high thermal output results from exothermic radioactive decay; spontaneous nuclear transformations release energy as heat. Therefore, spent fuel temperature increases rather than decreasing solely due to reduced fission, because alpha and beta decay continues post-operation.
