← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when deuterium-tritium plasma confinement fails inside ITER?
A)Neutron activation of reactor components✓
B)Increased alpha particle production rate
C)Enhanced formation of helium-3 isotope
D)Elevated bremsstrahlung radiation emission
💡 Explanation
Neutron activation will increase because the magnetic confinement collapsing invokes uncontrolled fusion via inertial electrostatic confinement increasing neutron flux. These neutrons collide with the reactor walls therefore generating radioactive isotopes via neutron capture by the wall material rather being controlled.
