← ScienceWhich consequence arises when tokamak plasma temperature declines during fusion?
A)Increased radiative energy losses occur✓
B)Sustained fusion reactions are prolonged
C)Instabilities facilitate plasma confinement
D)Alpha particle heating accelerates
💡 Explanation
Increased radiative energy losses occur through bremsstrahlung radiation, because lower temperatures reduce fusion reaction rates and Bremsstrahlung losses scale inversely with temperature; therefore plasma cools further, quenching fusion, rather than sustaining it, under these specific thermal conditions.
