Which mechanism limits sustained fusion output during inertial confinement when fuel pellet asymmetries exist?

💡 Explanation

Asymmetric implosions seed the Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the fuel-pusher interface, which disrupts compression because it drastically increases surface area thereby quenching fusion, rather than Bremsstrahlung increases which is always present or electron degeneracy that is not reached.
