← ScienceWhich mechanism limits the energy output of controlled fusion reactors?
A)Plasma confinement instability✓
B)Superconductor critical current
C)Neutron induced embrittlement
D)Fuel impurity backscattering
💡 Explanation
Plasma confinement instability disrupts fusion because inward magnetic pressure drops below outward kinetic pressure, therefore the reaction quenches rather than providing continuous output unlike increased fuel purity, radiation leakage, or magnetic coil failure.
