Which outcome results from enrichment of uranium isotopes?

A)Increased probability of sustained fission
B)Decreased neutron absorption cross-section
C)Reduced production of helium byproduct
D)Enhanced moderator effectiveness in reactor

💡 Explanation

Uranium enrichment increases the concentration of U-235, raising the probability of induced fission because neutron capture leads to nuclear instability and immediate splitting of the atom generating chain reactions; therefore, sustained fission is likelier, rather than cross-section lessening or helium reduction under normal fission
