← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when inertial confinement fusion reaches ignition?
A)Runaway thermal energy production✓
B)Deuterium-tritium fuel depletion
C)Neutron moderation within the plasma
D)Increased radiative heat losses
💡 Explanation
Runaway thermal energy production occurs because during ignition the alpha particles from deuterium-tritium fusion deposit more energy into the plasma than is lost, therefore heating the fuel and accelerating the fusion reaction, rather than depleting the fuel immediately.
