Which risk increases when enriched uranium isotopes undergo uncontrolled chain reactions?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled fission chain reactions cause unchecked nuclear fission, because each fission event releases neutrons that trigger more fission. This generates immense thermal energy via exponential amplification, therefore temperature spikes rapidly, rather than delayed thermal output under controlled parameters.
