Which outcome occurs from U-235 enrichment limits in fissile material?

A)Reduced neutron absorption cross-section
B)Accelerated chain reaction propagation
C)Increased radiative decay half-life
D)Formation of metastable isomers

💡 Explanation

Increased U-235 enrichment enhances fission probability because, above thresholds for *critical mass*, the neutron flux will achieve *supercriticality*, therefore prompt neutrons accelerate fission faster, rather than a controlled fission like standard reactors' design constraints.
