← ScienceWhich outcome prevents sustained fusion within a tokamak reactor?
A)Insufficient plasma confinement time✓
B)Excessive neutron absorption rates
C)Reduced magnetic field oscillation
D)Increased electrode sputtering effects
💡 Explanation
Sustained fusion requires the triple product of density, temperature, and confinement time be high; therefore if plasma escapes too quickly, the Lawson criterion isn't met because the ions cool down, meaning fusion stops rather than continuing reaction.
