Inside uranium enrichment centrifuges, which consequence arises when hexafluoride gas feed rate exceeds limits?

💡 Explanation

Limited flow rates prevent gas mixing, maintaining countercurrent flow; exceeding this limit causes turbulent mixing undermining separation via gaseous diffusion, because isotope concentration gradients are disrupted. Therefore, separation becomes less efficient rather than triggering fission or mechanical breakdowns at process temperature.
