Which consequence results when hydrogen fusion within a tokamak prematurely quenches?

A)Formation of thermal runaway reactions
B)Increased neutron activation of materials
C)Disruptive plasma current redistribution
D)Elevated bremsstrahlung radiation emission

💡 Explanation

A quench causes a disruptive plasma current redistribution because the magnetic confinement collapses initiating Magnetohydrodynamic Instabilities. Therefore, the primary risk involves structural damage from intense currents, rather than runaway reactions because fuel density drops drastically.
