Which consequence results when deuterium-tritium plasma confinement fails prematurely in a tokamak reactor?

A)Increased neutron flux outside reactor
B)Elevated helium ash accumulation centrally
C)Increased gamma radiation from bremsstrahlung
D)Uncontrolled chain reaction initiation

💡 Explanation

When plasma confinement fails, the **radiative losses** increase; fusion reactions cease; therefore, neutron production drops internally, which leads to increased escape into the reactor material rather than contributing to energy production, creating activated material. This is a radiative reaction, rather than a mechanical.
