Which risk increases when U-235 enrichment falls below specification during nuclear fuel production?

💡 Explanation

A lower U-235 content results in a higher proportion of U-238, increasing neutron absorption by U-238 rather than initiating fission by U-235, because neutron capture reduces the chain reaction. Therefore, the reaction diminishes; rather than creating spontaneous fission.
