← ScienceWhich consequence results when a fusion reactor's plasma quenches?
A)Reduced alpha particle confinement
B)Increased neutron activation
C)Disruption thermal energy spike✓
D)Enhanced helium ash removal
💡 Explanation
When a fusion plasma quenches, particles rapidly lose confinement; the loss of magnetic control causes a sudden deposition in the form of a disruption thermal energy spike. This occurs because of the loss of confinement, therefore localized heat exceeds heat removal capacity, rather than particles smoothly cooling and dissipating.
