Which radioactive decay increases neutron emission risk around enriched uranium?

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous fission increases neutron emission because the uranium nucleus itself splits, directly releasing multiple neutrons during nuclear decay; therefore increased neutron flux occurs, rather than from alpha or beta decay alone.
