← ScienceWhich risk increases when enriched uranium isotopes concentrate in containment?
A)Increased neutron moderation likelihood✓
B)Decreased delayed neutron fraction
C)Lower core clad corrosion rates
D)Reduced xenon-135 poisoning oscillation
💡 Explanation
A criticality event increases because uranium enrichment raises the concentration of fissionable isotopes. This elevates neutron flux through neutron moderation within the solution. Therefore, self-sustaining fission increases rather than declines like reactivity poisoning, resulting in overheating if uncontrolled.
