Which material weakness increases when a tokamak's magnets quench?

💡 Explanation

When a tokamak magnet quenches during deuterium-tritium fusion, runaway current forms in the plasma. This event causes intense electromagnetic stress on the vessel because the rapid current change induces strong forces, therefore electromagnetic stress increases, rather than neutron- or alpha-related effects.
