← ScienceWhich consequence results when uranium enrichment fails given increased decay?
A)Fuel rods exceed criticality threshold
B)Reactor thermal output shifts downward✓
C)Enriched product needs further stabilization
D)Neutron multiplication reaches saturation earlier
💡 Explanation
Insufficient enrichment causes isotopes to decay rapidly via alpha decay therefore decreasing the concentration of fissile U-235 slowing reaction rates, rather than accelerating because excessive enrichment can create supercriticality.
