← ScienceWhich risk increases when sustained DT fusion reactions cease prematurely in inertial confinement?
A)Increased neutron flux on vessel walls
B)Incomplete tritium breeding inside the blanket✓
C)Fuel pellet surface tension inconsistencies
D)Increased target chamber carbon erosion
💡 Explanation
Incomplete tritium breeding can occur when fusion prematurely stops because the neutron flux needed for lithium isotope transmutation within the blanket decreases, thereby reducing tritium production rather than carbon erosion. Therefore, less tritium means needing external sources instead.
