Within a CANDU reactor which risk increases following fuel cladding failure?

💡 Explanation

Cladding failure allows radioactive fission products like Cesium-137 to escape into the coolant via diffusion, because the noble gasses escape first. Therefore, cesium propagation will increase, rather than elevated leakage given heavy water management, or moderator degradation depending on water chemistry controls.
