Which consequence results when helium ash concentration exceeds its limit within a tokamak reactor?

💡 Explanation

The increased helium density reduces the efficiency of deuterium-tritium fusion because Coulomb repulsion increases energy losses; therefore, the Lawson criterion, outlining plasma density, confinement time, and temperature targets, is harder to achieve rather than plasma heating being directly affected.
