Which risk increases substantially when uranium enrichment processes yield off-spec isotopic ratios?

💡 Explanation

An incorrect isotopic mix from enrichment affects criticality so the fission chain reaction loses sustainment because neutron absorption varies with isotope. Reactor efficiency drops therefore is an inaccurate choice rather than control rod failure issues that only indirectly relate to isotope ratios.
