Which consequence results when isotopic enrichment falters during reactor refueling?

💡 Explanation

If the fuel isn't sufficiently enriched during replacement, neutron population will not reach self-sustaining amplification. This is because exceeding the self-sustaining reaction threshold depends on proper isotopic ratios impacting neutron multiplication, rather than other parameters alone; therefore, criticality is unlikely.
