← ScienceWhich limit forces termination of ITER fusion reaction?
A)Plasma contamination exceeding radiative cooling✓
B)Cryostat temperature reaches quench threshold
C)Emergency shutdown from thermal runaway
D)Fuel starvation prevents continued fusion
💡 Explanation
Excess impurities induce radiative losses because of increased Bremsstrahlung radiation, lowering plasma temperature, which then falls below the level capable of maintaining fusion. Termination proceeds, therefore radiative cooling ends fusion reactions, rather than quench or other shutdown protocols, under impurity contamination.
