Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Enrichmentसमृद्धीकरण (Enrichment)
Explanation
Natural uranium contains only about 0.7% of the fissile isotope U-235. The process that raises this proportion — by gaseous diffusion or centrifuge separation — is called uranium enrichment; reactor fuel typically needs 3–5% U-235.प्राकृतिक यूरेनियम में विखंडनीय समस्थानिक U-235 केवल लगभग 0.7% होता है। गैसीय विसरण या अपकेंद्रित्र पृथक्करण द्वारा इस अनुपात को बढ़ाने की प्रक्रिया यूरेनियम समृद्धीकरण (enrichment) कहलाती है; रिएक्टर ईंधन में सामान्यतः 3–5% U-235 की आवश्यकता होती है।More People, Development and Environment questions
