← ScienceWhich consequence results from quenching plasma too rapidly via injecting impurities during fusion research?
A)Runaway electron generation accelerates rapidly✓
B)Increased tritium breeding ratio occurs
C)Neutron flux becomes spatially uniform
D)Helium ash concentrates at the core
💡 Explanation
Runaway electrons, a potentially highly damaging outcome, become prominent when plasma cools too quickly. The *cold front effect* causes a rapid increase in plasma resistivity because energy drops while electrons remain highly mobile; therefore, strong electric fields accelerate them rather than dissipate, concentrating damage.
