← ScienceWhich consequence results when inadequate magnetic confinement occurs plasma fusion?
A)Quenching reduces fuel-wall temperature
B)Neutron flux ablates vacuum vessel✓
C)Alpha particles heat further plasma
D)Tritium breeding reaction slows down
💡 Explanation
Inadequate magnetic confinement allows highly energetic fusion neutrons to escape the plasma and collide directly with the reactor walls, causing sputtering and ablation, because neutron flux is not contained; therefore, wall material erodes rapidly, rather than contributing to sustained reactions or heating.
