Which inherent limit restricts energy harvesting in pulsed fusion?

💡 Explanation

Plasma's bremsstrahlung radiation increases drastically with temperature during pulsed inertial confinement fusion; therefore, energy is lost as electromagnetic radiation rather than converted into usable energy, because radiation scaling is stronger than fusion gain, rather than other loss mechanisms.
