Which outcome occurs in a tokamak reactor when plasma confinement degrades?

💡 Explanation

The divertor heat flux increases because degraded plasma confinement causes more energetic particles to escape the magnetic field and impact the divertor surfaces, therefore depositing their energy as heat, rather than contributing to sustained fusion.
