Which outcome occurs when the ITER tokamak reaches ignition?

💡 Explanation

Self-sustaining heating results because the alpha particles, a product of deuterium-tritium fusion, deposit their energy into the plasma via alpha heating, rather than requiring continuous external energy input; therefore, a sustained reaction occurs, not a runaway effect.
