← ScienceWhich risk increases when helium-3 concentration plateaus in DT fusion?
A)Reduced neutron cross-sectional output
B)Elevated electron degeneracy pressure
C)Increased alpha inefficiencies losses
D)Thermal runaway cascade onset✓
💡 Explanation
Thermal runaway risk increases because helium-3 accumulation reduces reactivity as DT fuel depletes. This mechanism results from neutron starvation because more efficient reactions fail to occur, therefore thermal energy concentrates, rather than neutrons increasing output efficiency.
