Within a nuclear reactor's control rods, which outcome occurs when boron-10 absorbs a neutron?

💡 Explanation

When Boron-10 captures a neutron, nuclear fission occurs, driven by lowered binding energy; this results in Helium and Lithium production, because the absorption transmutes boron. This therefore leads to increased helium & lithium, rather than other radiation changes without interaction.
