Which fuel exhaustion consequence would occur in a fusion reactor?

💡 Explanation

Decreased fuel causes lower fusion rates, so neutron flux declines by neutron starvation. The mechanism causing the sudden flux drop is the reduced probability of deuterium-tritium fusion, because flux generation slows rather than alternative ignition sequences being interrupted.
