Which limit most severely truncates inertially confined fusion energy yields?

💡 Explanation

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability amplifies non-uniformities at fuel interfaces because it hinders uniform compression preventing sustained fusion; therefore, growth rate dominates yield reduction rather than pellet composition, drive precision, or nozzle alignment.
