← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when heavy isotopes accumulate inside a Tokamak's divertor?
A)Fusion power output is diminished✓
B)Plasma temperature profile is equalized
C)Neutron flux towards magnets decreases
D)Tritium inventory within the vessel falls
💡 Explanation
Fusion power diminishes because accumulation of high-Z isotopes results in increased Bremsstrahlung radiation, triggering radiative collapse because the increased radiation cools the plasma edge, therefore reducing fusion reactivity rather than other profile changes.
