← ScienceWhich risk during deuterium-tritium pellet fusion increases from non-uniform D-T ice layer formation?
A)Reduced implosion symmetry✓
B)Enhanced alpha particle heating
C)Increased neutron flux shielding
D)Suppressed hydrodynamic instabilities
💡 Explanation
Reduced implosion symmetry arises because non-uniform ice layers cause uneven ablation during compression; therefore, fusion yield decreases due to inefficient energy coupling, rather than enhanced heating or instability suppression, without symmetric implosion.
