← ScienceWhich outcome hinders nuclear fusion within reactor plasmas?
A)Insufficient nuclear binding energy release✓
B)Excessive gamma radiation emission
C)Neutron capture cross-section increase
D)Plasma-wall interaction enhancement
💡 Explanation
Fusion requires overcoming electrostatic repulsion; insufficient nuclear binding energy release hinders this because energy input then exceeds output, halting sustained fusion via the nuclear force, rather than other effects like radiation losses influencing efficiency prematurely under normal conditions.
