Which limit applies when deuterium-tritium fusion in a tokamak is increased?

💡 Explanation

The plasma undergoes radiative collapse at high densities because increased electron-ion collisions enhance bremsstrahlung radiation via the bremsstrahlung mechanism. Therefore, the increased radiation cools the plasma edge, rather than sustaining required temperatures for fusion.
