← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when helium-3 fusion increases within a Tokamak reactor?
A)Increased neutron flux to vessel walls✓
B)Decreased alpha particle confinement losses
C)Enhanced magnetic field energy absorption
D)Reduced formation of tritium byproduct
💡 Explanation
Increased helium-3 fusion releases energetic protons and helium-4, but also excess neutrons via secondary reactions; Direct reactions dominate, but the increased neutron flux occurs because neutron emission increases with He-3 fusion, rather than a reduced fusion rate or altered particle confinement.
