← ScienceWhich outcome occurs during uranium enrichment within centrifuges?
A)Increased concentration U-235 isotope✓
B)Decreased thermal neutron capture
C)Generation of plasma confinement
D)Production of heavier transuranic elements
💡 Explanation
Centrifuges enrich uranium by isotope separation through **selective diffusion**, because lighter U-235 concentrates at the centrifuge center. Therefore the reactor sustains fission better rather than losing neutrons to U-238 capture during the chain reaction or producing heavier elements.
