Which outcome follows increased U-235 concentration during enrichment?

A)Spontaneous fission chain reaction initiation
B)Reduced neutron moderation requirement
C)Significant increase in control rod effectiveness
D)Decrease of overall reaction cross-section

💡 Explanation

Elevated U-235 triggers decreased neutron moderation because isotopes readily undergo fission, therefore, less external moderation is needed to initiate and sustain nuclear reaction rather than needing more moderation for less fissionable isotopes with lower U-235.
