← ScienceWhich outcome follows when the helium-3 supply in a fusion reactor diminishes, nearing depletion?
A)Increased parasitic neutron production✓
B)Amplified plasma energy confinement
C)Enhanced overall radiation shielding
D)Stable reaction cross-section threshold
💡 Explanation
Elevated deuterium-deuterium fusion results because helium-3 scarcity forces increased reliance on it; **neutron activation** raises as a result. Therefore, radiation hazard rises, rather than the reaction maintaining confinement because the process is now less controlled.
