← ScienceWhich outcome initiates runaway fusion reaction, regarding inertial confinement at extreme compression?
A)Increased energy confinement duration
B)Symmetrical implosion symmetry loss
C)Elevated alpha particle thermalization✓
D)Bremsstralung losses exceeding compressional heating
💡 Explanation
Elevated alpha particle thermalization promotes continued heating surpassing radiation losses. Because the mechanism of alpha heating dominates, the energy released sustains fusion, therefore rapid energy increase results, rather than a stable burn achieved via confinement alone.
