Which outcome increases vulnerability when nuclear binding falls sharply?

💡 Explanation

Reduced _nuclear binding energy_ causes a nucleus to be less stable; therefore spontaneous fission is more likely, because there's lowered resistance to separation into smaller fragments, rather than stronger binding favoring fusion of isotopes.
