Which effect limits energy production when tokamak plasma density peaks?

💡 Explanation

Helium ash accumulates in the fusion core because its alpha particles, produced during deuterium-tritium fusion, dilute the fuel ions impeding fusion reactions. Therefore, confinement degrades rather than improves, because helium build-up quenches sustained fusion reactions.
