← ScienceWhich consequence results when helium ash concentration exceeds its limit within a tokamak reactor?
A)Increased alpha particle energy losses
B)Reduced Lawson criterion achievement✓
C)Enhanced neutral beam penetration depth
D)Decreased electron cyclotron heating efficiency
💡 Explanation
The increased helium density reduces the efficiency of deuterium-tritium fusion because Coulomb repulsion increases energy losses; therefore, the Lawson criterion, outlining plasma density, confinement time, and temperature targets, is harder to achieve rather than plasma heating being directly affected.
