← ScienceWhich outcome disables sustained fusion when tokamak plasma density decreases?
A)Enhanced alpha particle confinement occurs
B)Increased radiative heat losses dominate✓
C)Runaway electron generation is suppressed
D)Bootstrap current enhancement destabilizes flux
💡 Explanation
Increased radiative heat losses dominate reactor performance because reduced density allows impurities to radiate energy, cooling the plasma rapidly, dropping below Lawson criterion therefore fusion stops, rather than alpha confinement aiding or electron generation suppressing losses.
