Which mechanism initiates uncontrolled escalation in a fusion reactor?

💡 Explanation

Increased alpha particle thermalization causes runaway as the energy is transferred directly into the plasma as kinetic energy via ohmic heating, therefore overheating the system rather than dissipating leading to instability.

• Which consequence results when a polymerization reactor's heat removal capacity drops below required levels?
• Which risk increases when dynamic similarity is unachievable?
• Which consequence results when imperfections distort progressive waves?
• Which risk dramatically escalates when increasing flow velocity through a crude oil pipeline causes turbulence?
