← ScienceWhich outcome results when fusion within a reactor core drops below the Lawson criterion?
A)Plasma Quench occurs immediately
B)Net energy production ceases✓
C)Neutron flux increases exponentially
D)Helium ash accumulates more rapidly
💡 Explanation
Net energy production ceases because sustained fusion needs certain density and temperature; therefore, the rate of fusion decreases faster than energy losses, and the reaction quenches, rather than proceeding while accumulating ash or with an unbounded increased neutron flux.
