Which risk increases when uranium enrichment exceeds necessary thresholds?

💡 Explanation

An uncontrolled chain reaction occurs because exceeding enrichment thresholds increases the probability of neutron-induced fission propagating exponentially, therefore leading to criticality rather than controlled power production; because mitigation requires precision.
