← ScienceWhich consequence results when isotopic enrichment separates uranium isotopes?
A)Chain reaction criticality approaches design threshold✓
B)Moderator voids cause neutron over-moderation
C)Fuel cladding experiences accelerated hydrogen embrittlement
D)Control rod response becomes spatially non-uniform
💡 Explanation
Sufficiently enriched uranium increases the concentration of fissile U-235. This increases the probability of a self-sustaining nuclear reaction due to increased **neutron flux probabilities**, therefore criticality can be reached easier rather than delayed as in unenriched fuel.
