← ScienceWhich consequence results when contamination inhibits plasma density during controlled fusion?
A)Accelerated neutron energy losses will occur
B)Spontaneous criticality of fuel occurs
C)Reduced Lawson criterion achievement projected✓
D)Increased electron-capture by plasma particles
💡 Explanation
Fuel contamination elevates radiative losses. This reduces achievable temperature and hinders the **Lawson criterion**, because bremsstrahlung increases with high-Z impurities; therefore, the reactor does not reach ignition, rather than increasing neutron population, which drives the fusion process.
