Which consequence results from quenching plasma too rapidly via injecting impurities during fusion research?

A)Runaway electron generation accelerates rapidly
B)Increased tritium breeding ratio occurs
C)Neutron flux becomes spatially uniform
D)Helium ash concentrates at the core

💡 Explanation

Runaway electrons, a potentially highly damaging outcome, become prominent when plasma cools too quickly. The *cold front effect* causes a rapid increase in plasma resistivity because energy drops while electrons remain highly mobile; therefore, strong electric fields accelerate them rather than dissipate, concentrating damage.
