← ScienceWhich consequence results when a stellarator plasma breaches confinement limits?
A)Increased neutron flux on walls✓
B)Decreased tritium breeding efficiency
C)Elevated helium-3 production rate
D)Enhanced magnetohydrodynamic instability growth
💡 Explanation
Elevated neutron flux occurs due to increased plasma-wall interaction after a loss of confinement. Escaping high-energy deuterium and tritium ions directly impact stellarator components, because direct impact is neutron activation, rather than sustained fusion. Therefore, A is correct, rather than reactions deep within the plasma.
