In fact, the opposite is true: a nuclear reactor becomes critical when it is operating correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because a nuclear reactor does not start emitting dangerous radioactive radiations when it becomes critical. In fact, the amount of radiation produced by a nuclear reactor is actually quite low when it is operating correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Option C is incorrect because a nuclear reactor is not shut down to avoid explosion when it becomes critical. In fact, a nuclear reactor is only shut down if there is a problem with the reactor, such as a loss of coolant.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps!
