Which risk increases during sustained fusion reactor operation?

💡 Explanation

Neutron activation increases because sustained fusion generates high-energy neutrons that bombard the reactor walls causing isotopes to become radioactive; therefore structural integrity weakens due to transmutation, rather than loss of confinement or immediate power imbalances.
