During deuterium-tritium fusion in a tokamak reactor, which outcome reduces energy output, rather than increasing it?

💡 Explanation

Increased alpha particle energy loss reduces net energy gain because these particles normally heat the plasma, therefore hindering efficient heat transfer and decreasing fusion rate, rather than boosting it, because alpha particle's energy isn't contributing to plasma temperature.
