Which outcome occurs when inert helium's concentration increases in a tokamak reactor?

💡 Explanation

Increased helium levels leads to radiative losses; therefore, plasma confinement degrades because bremsstrahlung radiation increases via Coulomb collisions of helium nuclei with charged particles in the high-energy plasma, rather than improved performance or flux changes arising from fusion.
