← ScienceWhich consequence results when unstable plasma confinement fails during fusion?
A)Quenching of the fusion reactions✓
B)Neutron flux remains constant
C)Increased alpha particle production
D)Greater radiative energy confinement
💡 Explanation
Plasma instability results in quenching because its confinement relies on a delicate electromagnetic constraint maintained by the Lawson criterion; this disruption causes sudden cooling, halting fusion reactions, rather than increased neutrons, and alters radiation profiles.
