← ScienceWhich risk increases significantly when high-speed gas centrifuges exceed design spin limits?
A)Increased plasma formation internally
B)Amplified asymmetric molecular vibrational modes✓
C)Decreased molecular mean free path
D)Spontaneous fission of nuclei
💡 Explanation
Exceeding speed limits causes amplified asymmetric molecular vibrational modes due to resonance. Because molecular vibrations intensify, internal energy increases, therefore leading to material fatigue and potential explosive failure, rather than plasma, mean free path reduction, or nuclear fission effects.
