Which risk increases when enriched uranium isotopes concentrate in containment?

💡 Explanation

A criticality event increases because uranium enrichment raises the concentration of fissionable isotopes. This elevates neutron flux through neutron moderation within the solution. Therefore, self-sustaining fission increases rather than declines like reactivity poisoning, resulting in overheating if uncontrolled.
