← ScienceWhich consequence results when isotopic separation is imperfect?
A)Enriched product contains unwanted isotopes✓
B)Chain reaction criticality cannot occur
C)Fuel rods require more frequent replacement
D)Moderator efficacy improves significantly
💡 Explanation
Imperfect separation means the enriched product suffers from contamination by unwanted isotopes; this occurs because isotope separation never achieves absolute purity, therefore the product contains some original, ‘depleted’ uranium, rather than pure U-235.
