In inertial confinement fusion, which risk greatly increases as fuel pellet sphericity sharply degrades?

A)Increased neutron moderation

B)Reduced energy confinement time✓

C)Enhanced alpha particle heating

D)Accelerated breeding of tritium

💡 Explanation

Reduced pellet sphericity causes uneven compression, therefore decreasing energy confinement time impacting fusion yields because the hot plasma collapses from increased radiative loss rather than efficient compression facilitating fusion.
