← ScienceWhich risk increases when the magnetic field stability fails within a tokamak reactor during deuterium-tritium fusion?
A)Neutron flux damage of the magnets✓
B)Increased helium ash production rates
C)Reduced plasma confinement time linearly
D)Rapid increase of gamma radiation emission
💡 Explanation
Unstable magnetic fields can cause plasma quenching and increased neutron flux because neutron activation occurs during uncontrolled fusion. If the magnets are subjected to this increased neutron irradiation, then structural integrity is compromised, therefore, A; rather than plasma confinement decreasing gently, a quench is catastrophic instead.
