← ScienceWhich consequence results when control systems fail in inertial confinement fusion reactors?
A)Target implosion becomes asymmetric✓
B)Neutron flux remains unchanged
C)Deuterium-tritium mixture becomes inert
D)Plasma pressure dramatically increases
💡 Explanation
Asymmetric target implosion occurs, because uneven laser or particle beam energies cause unstable compression via Rayleigh-Taylor instability; therefore, fusion yield decreases, rather than achieving optimal fusion conditions or affecting inherent fuel reactivity.
