Which consequence results when a fusion reactor experiences disruptions?

A)Increased neutron flux to containment
B)Decreased alpha particle confinement
C)Elevated magnetic field inhomogeneity
D)Uncontrolled breeding blanket degradation

💡 Explanation

Disruptions cause the plasma to rapidly lose confinement; specifically, the increased neutron flux results because instabilities trigger increased deuterium-tritium fusion events leading to neutron bombardment of the reactor walls. Therefore, increased neutron flux occurs, rather than disruptions directly causing alpha losses or field changes.
