Which risk correlates to exceeding the Uranium-235 half-life?

💡 Explanation

Elevated background radiation increases when Uranium-235 exceeds its half-life because radioactive decay will always produce decay products and release excess energy; therefore increased ambient radiation happens continuously rather than reactivity spikes in a carefully managed reactor.
