Which mechanism limits sustained fusion reactions in tokamaks?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced turbulent energy transport causes energy loss from the plasma core, which prevents maintaining required temperatures for fusion, because energy escapes rapidly. Therefore, fusion ceases; rather than increased wall interactions only slowly degrade plasma parameters.
