Which risk increases when a nuclear power plant's cooling system malfunctions during processing of enriched uranium isotopes?

💡 Explanation

Doppler broadening occurs when the fuel temperature rises rapidly; because increased thermal motion of uranium isotopes reduces neutron capture, therefore the fission rate increases, potentially leading to uncontrolled criticality, rather than stable or reduced moderation characteristic of option A.
