← ScienceWhich critical fuel constraint arises because density plateaus prevent sustained fusion in a Tokamak reactor?
A)Bremsstrahlung radiation exceeds alpha heating✓
B)Ion temperature gradient mode develops
C)Kinetic ballooning modes are stabilized
D)Resistive wall mode coupling strengthens
💡 Explanation
Bremsstrahlung radiation dominates alpha heating causing plasma cooling; because the density limit curtails further fuel input, power breakeven is unattainable. Therefore, reactor efficiency plummets, rather than attaining higher stability by other hypothetical plasma behaviors.
