← ScienceWhich risk increases when a muon-catalyzed fusion reactor exceeds its design temperature?
A)Premature muon decay occurs✓
B)Increased neutron absorption happens
C)Plasma containment improves greatly
D)Catalyst regeneration gets easier
💡 Explanation
Higher temperatures accelerate muon decay because increased thermal energy shortens the **muon lifetime** within the plasma. Therefore, premature muon decay reduces the frequency of fusion cycles, rather than improving containment, which occurs due to different electromagnetic stabilazation.
