Which consequence results when inertial confinement fusion unevenly heats a deuterium-tritium target?

💡 Explanation

A temperature gradient causes hydrodynamic instabilities from Rayleigh-Taylor instability, because hot spots expand faster, disrupting uniform compression required for efficient fusion. Therefore lower fusion yield and harder to breakeven occurs, rather than increasing neutrons or enhanced alpha containment under ideal fusion.
