Which limit prevents the core of failed inertial confinement fusion from achieving sustained burn?

💡 Explanation

A fusion reaction won't be self-sustaining if confinement time is too brief to heat plasma. Lawson criterion mandates minimal density, temperature, time for sufficient fusion; failure prevents sustained burn because too little energy is released, therefore 'Lawson criterion' rather than alternatives controlling plasma or radiation are the relevant limit.
