which procedure will most increase the energy output of a nuclear reactor?\n○ exposing the core to the outside world\n○ removing fissile material from the core\n○ decreasing the amount of steam produced\n○ raising the control rods out of the reactor

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Control rods in a nuclear reactor absorb neutrons to control the rate of fission. Raising them out of the reactor allows more neutrons to cause fission, increasing the energy - output. Exposing the core to the outside world is dangerous and not a normal operation to increase energy output. Removing fissile material reduces the fuel for fission and thus energy output. Decreasing steam production is related to the conversion of nuclear energy to electrical energy and reducing it doesn't increase the nuclear reaction's energy output.

Answer:

raising the control rods out of the reactor
