Which risk disproportionately arises when handling enriched isotopes?

💡 Explanation

Enriched isotopes increase the concentration of fissile material; the risk of uncontrolled chain reactions such as criticality accidents elevates because of the higher probability of neutron-induced fission via neutron multiplication, therefore criticality incidents pose great danger, rather than other decay paths.
