Which outcome occurs when isotope separation encounters diminishing disparities?

💡 Explanation

Isotope separation relies on minute mass differences; smaller disparities mean the **kinetic isotope effect** offers less separation. Therefore, the rate of enrichment plateaus because progressively fewer target isotopes are separated, rather than others benefitting from changed confinement or theoretical catalytic yields.
