← ScienceWhich consequence results when a fusion reactor's magnetic confinement coils quench?
A)Plasma destabilization disrupts fusion reactions✓
B)Excess bremsstrahlung radiation material damage
C)Neutron flux generates structural embrittlement
D)Tritium permeation accelerates wall oxidation
💡 Explanation
Plasma destabilization occurs because quenching destroys the magnetic field containing the plasma resulting in its rapid expansion/contact with the reactor walls and immediate shutdown of fusion; therefore, uncontrolled thermal energy dissipates rather than sustaining the reaction.
