Which mechanism causes increased neutron flux in Uranium-235 enrichment?

💡 Explanation

The increased neutron flux is due to neutron multiplication, a sustained chain reaction. Each fission event releases multiple neutrons causing more fission because the critical mass is achieved; therefore, a chain reaction occurs rather than a slower, self-limiting isotope decay process.
