Which mechanism limits fusion events' frequency in tokamak reactors?

💡 Explanation

The Coulomb interactions repel nuclei within the plasma, therefore this repulsive force strongly limits fusion because nuclei must tunnel through the potential barrier rather than overcome the repulsion, requiring high temperatures.
