Which mechanism causes luminosity increases from aging fusion reactors?

💡 Explanation

In a fusion reactor, helium ash gradually reduces plasma confinement, but improved fuel purity increases luminosity via enhanced fusion rates; this is because reduced Bremsstrahlung radiation increases reactivity, therefore luminosity rises, rather than decreases from fuel dilution.
