← ScienceWhich consequence results when excessive alpha particle flux strikes deuterium-tritium fuel during fusion?
A)Increased neutron activation of vessel
B)Enhanced convective heat transfer rates
C)Reduced plasma confinement timescales✓
D)Stimulated generation of bremssstrahlung radiation
💡 Explanation
Reduced plasma confinement occurs due to increased energy leakage via alpha particles exceeding the confinement magnetic field via magnetic reconnection because the flux causes a resistive instability. Therefore confinement diminishes, rather than an increase in bremsstrahlung created by electron impacts or altered vessel cooling.
