During uranium enrichment, which risk increases when centrifuge rotor speed hits resonance?

💡 Explanation

Synchronous vibration causes the kinetic energy to amplify through mechanical resonance, thereby risking structural failure of components, because the excitation frequency matches a natural frequency of the rotor; therefore, answer A is correct, rather than isotope changes which need more energy.
