If Uranium-235's nucleus is close to fission, which mechanism increases if neutron binding energy input exceeds threshold for separation?

💡 Explanation

Fission increases because neutron absorption surpasses the critical energy needed to overcome the nuclear strong force during nuclear binding; therefore, the nucleus splits apart from neutron bombardment, rather than maintaining stability via weaker forms of radioactive decay.
