← ScienceWhich consequence results when the tokamak's magnetic confinement fails, preventing energy extraction?
A)Rapid plasma quenching occurs✓
B)Increased neutron moderation occurs
C)Cryostat cooling efficiency increases
D)Tritium breeding ratio decreases
💡 Explanation
Rapid plasma quenching occurs because of thermal quench due to unconfined plasma; therefore the plasma rapidly cools therefore it loses its fusion ability because there is significant loss of kinetic energy to the surrounding walls rather than controlled energy generation.
