← ScienceWhich instability grows fastest when deuterium-tritium fusion reactions diminish?
A)Rayleigh-Taylor hydrodynamic mixing✓
B)Spatially uniform Bremsstrahlung radiation
C)Magnetic field asymmetry oscillations
D)Deuterium chain-reaction runaway cooling
💡 Explanation
Diminished fusion reduces heating, which allows Rayleigh-Taylor instability to grow faster at the plasma interface because density increases and therefore hydrodynamic mixing proceeds unimpeded, rather than limited by increased thermal pressure, triggering turbulence.
