Which mechanism prevents uncontrolled fusion in ITER's tokamak?

💡 Explanation

Magnetic confinement ensures fusion is controlled because strong magnetic fields contain the superheated plasma preventing wall contact, leading to runaway fusion via thermal runaway; therefore, carefully altering the fields avoids this, rather than neutron shielding or fuel pellet properties mitigating the reaction.
