Which risk increases unexpectedly in pulsed fusion reactors when tritium decays?

💡 Explanation

Helium-3 buildup rises because tritium beta decay transmutes tritium into helium-3 nuclei; therefore, heat transfer inefficiencies are increased in the coolant, rather than plasma confinement issues or neutron flux alteration, because helium affects thermal properties
