Which outcome results during uranium enrichment at elevated temperatures?

A)Increased reaction kinetics of uranium
B)Accelerated gaseous diffusion of isotopes
C)Enhanced neutron absorption cross-section
D)Reduced material corrosion from fluorination.

💡 Explanation

Elevated temperatures accelerate the gaseous diffusion used during uranium enrichment. Thermal Motion increases causing a separation enhancement. Therefore, lighter isotopes diffuse faster, rather than enhancing neutron absorption or corrosion rates which are separate nuclear and electrochemical phenomena.
