Which effect limits uranium-235 enrichment efficiency due to lower yield rates?

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous fission complicates U-235 enrichment because neutron emission initiates unwanted chain reactions. This neutron emission raises background counts, interfering with efficient operation of the enrichment process, therefore enrichment yield decreases, rather than increasing atomic stability via alpha decay.
