Which outcome occurs when a tokamak fusion reactor's plasma density increases beyond its operational threshold, limiting fusion output?

💡 Explanation

A plasma quench occurs because exceeding the density limit in a tokamak leads to MHD instability; this causes rapid loss of confinement and energy impacting the reactor walls, therefore a quench, rather than gradually increasing neutrons or radiation.
