← ScienceWhich risk increases when magnetic confinement fusion pressure exceeds limits?
A)Plasma resistivity falls sharply
B)Neutron flux becomes negligible
C)Magnetohydrodynamic instability amplifies greatly✓
D)Gamma radiation decreases notably
💡 Explanation
Magnetohydrodynamic instability grows because plasma pressure gradients resist magnetic confinement, initiating turbulent flow through the mechanism of magnetic reconnection. Therefore instability rises rather than any other consequence that depends on plasma stability because reduced pressure has opposite effects.
