Which consequence results when isotopic fractionation concentrates deuterium?

A)Decreased tritium production within fusion reactors
B)Higher neutron flux within CANDU reactors
C)Increased coolant viscosity in nuclear plants
D)Reduced uranium enrichment process efficiency

💡 Explanation

Increased deuterium concentration raises forces between water molecules, therefore increasing absolute coolant viscosity because isotopic fractionation favors heavier isotopes during phase changes, rather than affecting tritium or general enrichment.
