← ScienceWhich catastrophic outcome results when plasma instabilities disrupt fusion?
A)Quenching energy into reactor walls✓
B)Helium-3 production exponentially increases
C)Tritium breeding significantly enhances
D)Neutron flux creates greater shielding
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled plasma disrupts fusion because the Magnetic Reconnection process releases stored magnetic energy into plasma, heating the reactor walls rather than further confinement. Helium and tritium remain largely unaffected; therefore, quenching is the correct disruptive effect.
