Which consequence results when magnetic confinement fails within a tokamak reactor?

💡 Explanation

A loss of magnetic confinement leads to plasma impacting the reactor walls; energy transfer occurs via thermal conduction, because the high temperature plasma directly contacts and rapidly heats the wall. This causes plasma quench with localized damage to the liner, rather than increased fusion or neutron flux in the core.
