Which consequence results when isotopic enrichment separates uranium isotopes?

💡 Explanation

Sufficiently enriched uranium increases the concentration of fissile U-235. This increases the probability of a self-sustaining nuclear reaction due to increased **neutron flux probabilities**, therefore criticality can be reached easier rather than delayed as in unenriched fuel.
