Which mechanism causes increased gamma radiation during uranium enrichment?

A)Radioactive decay of daughter isotopes
B)Bremsstrahlung from beta emission
C)Spontaneous fission cross-section enhancement
D)Increased neutron moderation events

💡 Explanation

Daughter isotopes are produced from uranium radioactive decay, with unstable nuclides that emit high-energy gamma rays. This occurs because the decay chain products undergo nuclear rearrangement to stable states. Therefore, gamma radiation increases rather than other radiation types being directly produced.
