Suppose the main water pipe breaks in a nuclear power plant, shutting off the water flow. If the control rods fall immediately into place, stopping the chain reaction, is there still a problem?

A) Yes, because radioactivity continues to create lots of thermal energy. B) Yes, because the uranium can still fission even though it is not chain-reacting. C) Yes, because the control rods stop only the fissioning of uranium and not the fissioning of plutonium. D) No, because no heat can be created once the fission reaction is shut off. E) No, because the small amount of heat that continues being created is not enough to cause any danger.
