Which condition primarily characterizes an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction?
- 1The fission fragments immediately recombine into a heavier stable nuclide without releasing energy
- 2The number of fissions and released neutrons increases exponentially in a very short time✓
- 3Control rods absorb all the secondary neutrons to halt the process instantaneously
- 4The number of neutrons available to cause subsequent fissions is kept strictly equal to one
Correct answer
The number of fissions and released neutrons increases exponentially in a very short time
