Which outcome results when excessive alpha particle creation impedes inertial fusion?

💡 Explanation

Reduced energy gain occurs because alpha particles, while heating plasma, experience greater Bremsstrahlung losses at high concentrations rather than contributing solely to fusion. Therefore, net energy production decreases rather than increasing plasma confinement or enhancing fuel compression.
