Which consequence results when excessive deuterium-tritium fuel accumulates on the divertor surfaces inside a tokamak fusion reactor?

A)Increased neutron activation of components
B)Suppressed runaway electron generation
C)Enhanced magnetohydrodynamic stabilization
D)Reduced radiative power dissipation

💡 Explanation

Accumulation causes increased neutron activation because *deuterium-tritium fusion* releases high-energy neutrons upon collision with the surface. These neutrons activate the surrounding reactor components, therefore, increasing the radioactivity risk is correct rather than magnetic stability or radiative cooling effects.
