Which outcome occurs when excessive Helium-3 accumulates in a fusion reactor?

💡 Explanation

Fuel dilution leads to plasma instability because increasing Helium-3 concentration reduces the density of the reacting Deuterium and Tritium therefore fusion reactions may cease, rather than an increase in neutron flux which would indicate continuing fusion.
