Which consequence occurs when heavy isotopes accumulate unevenly within centrifuges enriching uranium?

💡 Explanation

Rotor imbalance and vibrations occur because uneven isotope distribution creates density gradients and centrifugal forces, affecting the rotor's center of mass during operation. Therefore, imbalances cause vibrations, rather than balanced operation at resonance.
