Which consequence results when the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) target implodes asymmetrically?

A)Reduced fusion energy yield
B)Increased neutron activation products
C)Elevated plasma electron temperature
D)Enhanced alpha particle confinement

💡 Explanation

Asymmetric implosion causes uneven compression, therefore the Lawson criterion for fusion isn't met evenly therefore reduced energy released. Rayleigh-Taylor instability disrupts uniform conditions, because it limits energy release rather than other effects.
