Which mechanism governs isotope separation using gas centrifuges processing uranium hexafluoride?

💡 Explanation

Pressure diffusion separates isotopes because lighter isotopes concentrate near the axis due to their greater average velocity, therefore enriching U-235, rather than achieving separation via resonant absorption or decay which do not directly rely on mass differences at that scale.
