Which risk increases when magnetically confined fusion plasma cools?

💡 Explanation

Reduced plasma temperature lowers plasma pressure, enabling external magnetic field perturbations to induce disruptive instabilities. This Magneto-hydrodynamic Instability grows because decreased thermal pressure cannot resist magnetic forces; therefore overall confinement drops, rather than leading to a controlled burn.
