17) Why is enrichment important for, a fission chain reaction? (bonus) *

• It keeps neutrons from escaping the sample.
It keeps neutrons from being absorbed by other isotopes.
• It allows neutrons to be absorbed by other fissionable nuclei.
• It provides enough fuel to make enough energy.

Enrichment is important for a fission chain reaction because it allows for the concentration of fissionable nuclei in a sample, increasing the likelihood of neutron absorption and subsequent fission events. This in turn helps sustain the chain reaction and maintain a self-sustaining nuclear reaction. Without enrichment, the reaction may not occur or may not be sustained at a desirable level.
