Which risk substantially increases when control rods fail?

A)Uncontrolled chain reaction
B)Reduced moderator efficiency
C)Increased neutron absorption
D)Fuel enrichment decreases

💡 Explanation

An uncontrolled chain reaction results from control rod failure because neutron moderation via neutron absorption drastically decreases; therefore, fission rate increases catastrophically rather than remaining stable by controlled collisions.
