Which consequence results when isotope separation fails incompletely?

A)Neutron multiplication reaction cannot be sustained
B)Waste heat removal exceeding core tolerance
C)Control rod effectiveness severely increases
D)Increased probability of moderator poisoning effects

💡 Explanation

If isotope separation fails, the concentration of fissile isotopes decreases, because the critical mass needed for a sustained chain reaction cannot be achieved. Therefore, a reactor cannot function, rather than experiencing overheating which primarily depends on power level, or control rod / moderator dynamics.
