← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a fusion reactor exceeds its energy confinement limits?
A)Plasma Quench disrupts superconducting magnets✓
B)Neutron flux decreases sharply and linearly
C)Tritium breeding ratio rapidly normalizes
D)Helium-3 accumulation poisons reaction catalysis
💡 Explanation
A loss of energy confinement triggers a Plasma Quench involving rapid cooling because bremsstrahlung radiation increases. This releases energy thermally and electromagnetically, therefore damaging reactor components and superconducting magnets, rather than stabilizing fusion or optimizing fuel breeding inside the core geometry.
