Which risk increases when uranium fuel rods suffer cladding breach?

💡 Explanation

Coolant radioactivity risk increases because the cladding breach allows fission products' radioactive decay to directly contaminate it. This introduces more radioactive isotopes into the coolant, therefore increasing risk, rather than changing neutron flux.
