Correct answer: C. More than 0.71% of U-235
- A. Only fissile material
- B. Only fertile material
- C. More than 0.71% of U-235
- D. No impurities
Explanation
Natural uranium contains about 0.71% U-235, so uranium is called enriched when its U-235 concentration is increased above this value. Enrichment does not mean removal of all impurities or formation of only fissile material.
