← ScienceWhich process limits maximum sustained fusion output from tokamaks?
A)Magnetohydrodynamic instabilities prevent plasma confinement✓
B)Neutron irradiation degrades reactor walls
C)Helium ash accumulation quenches burning
D)Synchrotron radiation cools plasma core
💡 Explanation
Ideal plasma should be isolated within a strong magnetic field to drive controlled fusion; however, instabilities cause the field to warp, therefore plasma touches wall leading to rapid heat loss, rather than staying confined or converting fuel completely.
