Which risk increases when enriched uranium isotopes accumulate impurities?

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous fission probability increases because impurities introduce additional reaction pathways destabilizing the nucleus, triggering decays more easily; therefore the chance of a nuclear event rises above design, rather than being stable.
