← ScienceWhich outcome arises when deuterium-tritium plasma cools during confinement fusion?
A)Fusion reaction rate sharply declines✓
B)Helium production rate remains constant
C)Plasma density significantly increases locally
D)Neutron flux increases exponentially rapidly
💡 Explanation
Cooled plasma loses kinetic energy; because of that, Coulomb repulsion dominates and fusion probability decreases because fusion requires high kinetic energy to tunnel the barrier. Therefore, the reaction rate plummets, rather than neutron flux increasing or production staying constant.
