Which outcome increases when uranium enrichment raises average binding energy?

💡 Explanation

Reduced binding energy differences lead to increased instability; spontaneous fission occurs due to quantum tunneling. Therefore higher average binding energies reduce the barrier to fission, rather than affecting neutron capture or decay chains.
