Which outcome occurs when enriched uranium undergoes neutron bombardment?

💡 Explanation

Nuclear fission occurs because neutron capture by U-235 isotopes causes nuclear instability, triggering chain reactions. Therefore, energy production rises, rather than alpha decay changes or immediate transmutation to lead; fusion requires different conditions.
