← ScienceWhich risk increases significantly when ITER's vacuum vessel leaks?
A)Plasma contamination becomes highly probable✓
B)Tritium self-sufficiency gets challenged
C)Superconducting magnet quench possibility rises
D)Diverter target erosion rate increases
💡 Explanation
Plasma contamination is very likely following a major vacuum leak due to the influx of atmospheric gases disrupting confinement because impurities become ionized and radiate energy. Therefore, plasma cools and potentially disrupts the fusion reaction, rather than affecting tritium breeding or magnet operation directly.
