Which risk increases when inertial confinement fusion reaches breakeven?

A)Neutron activation of reactor materials
B)Increased alpha particle scattering losses
C)Reduced tritium breeding efficiency overall
D)Plasma instabilities become self-dampening

💡 Explanation

Neutron activation increases strongly with fusion power; the fusion process releases energetic neutrons. Therefore, structural materials will become radioactive via neutron capture, rather than alpha scattering because it occurs regardless of achieving breakeven or instabilities.
