Which consequence results when isotopic abundance skews excessively?

💡 Explanation

Altered isotopic ratios changes neutron absorption values, impacting nuclear reaction cross-sections because neutron activity changes; therefore reactions deviate from design, rather than stable operations that other isotope mix produce.
