At sustained fusion reactor operation, which criticality effect stops the reaction?

💡 Explanation

Plasma impurity line emission cools the fusion plasma because it radiates away energy that maintain plasma temperatures, quenching the fusion reaction by *radiative losses*. Therefore, achieving controlled fusion becomes difficult, rather than continuing exponentially due to other factors affecting reactivity.
