Which outcome results when fusion fuel depletion occurs unevenly across a tokamak volume?

💡 Explanation

Magnetohydrodynamic instability occurs because uneven fuel depletion causes pressure gradients, therefore triggering runaway currents and plasma disruptions, rather than a more controlled burn; the uniformity prevents instabilities.
