← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when heavy isotopes accumulate unevenly within centrifuges enriching uranium?
A)Increased isotopic separation factor
B)Enhanced countercurrent flow stability
C)Rotor imbalance and resonant vibrations✓
D)Higher product stream concentration
💡 Explanation
Rotor imbalance and vibrations occur because uneven isotope distribution creates density gradients and centrifugal forces, affecting the rotor's center of mass during operation. Therefore, imbalances cause vibrations, rather than balanced operation at resonance.
