In inertial confinement fusion, which risk greatly increases as fuel pellet sphericity sharply degrades?

💡 Explanation

Reduced pellet sphericity causes uneven compression, therefore decreasing energy confinement time impacting fusion yields because the hot plasma collapses from increased radiative loss rather than efficient compression facilitating fusion.
