Which challenge arises if a fusion reactor uses Deuterium-Tritium fuel with variations in isotopic purity?

💡 Explanation

Neutron contamination is increased because variations alter the fusion reaction rates, thereby changing neutron production via the neutron activation mechanism. Therefore shield design becomes more complex, rather than a cleaner plasma profile otherwise.
