Which outcome occurs when uranium enrichment falls too low?

💡 Explanation

The fission chain reaction needs sufficient fissile material. Lower enrichment reduces neutron regeneration via induced fission; therefore, the chain reaction ceases because neutron multiplication decreases during the propagation, rather than creating energy from uncontrolled decay.
