← ScienceWhich obstacle limits sustained fusion reactions within ITER’s tokamak?
A)Confinement via a magnetic field
B)Neutron activation causes material degradation✓
C)Plasma temperature achieves ignition threshold
D)Fuel pellet injection disrupts equilibrium plasma
💡 Explanation
Neutron activation causes material degradation because the high neutron flux bombarding tokamak structure initiates transmutation; therefore, embrittlement occurs, rather than achieving ideal confinement, temperature, or pellet delivery because they are ongoing concerns.
