Which consequence results when isotope separation fails incompletely?

💡 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.
