← ScienceWhich outcome increases when uranium enrichment raises average binding energy?
A)Neutron capture reaction probability
B)Critical mass dimensional requirement
C)Spontaneous fission reaction yield✓
D)Alpha decay daughter product recoil
💡 Explanation
Reduced binding energy differences lead to increased instability; spontaneous fission occurs due to quantum tunneling. Therefore higher average binding energies reduce the barrier to fission, rather than affecting neutron capture or decay chains.
