Which outcome hinders nuclear fusion within reactor plasmas?

💡 Explanation

Fusion requires overcoming electrostatic repulsion; insufficient nuclear binding energy release hinders this because energy input then exceeds output, halting sustained fusion via the nuclear force, rather than other effects like radiation losses influencing efficiency prematurely under normal conditions.
