Which consequence results when enriching uranium isotopes via gaseous diffusion?

💡 Explanation

Enrichment increases U-235 concentration via *isotopic separation*; because lighter U-235 diffuses faster, depleted uranium (mostly U-238) forms as a byproduct. Therefore, option A, rather than other changes to reactor behaviour is the direct isotopic impact.
