Which outcome occurs as temperatures increase enough to initiate deuterium-tritium fusion?

A)Plasma confinement becomes increasingly problematic✓

B)Neutron flux dramatically decreases due to shielding

C)Fusion reaction rate immediately falls to zero

D)Radioactive alpha particles become the primary fuel

💡 Explanation

Increased thermal energy causes greater particle velocity; therefore the plasma is more difficult to contain because magneto-hydrodynamic instabilities grow via the increased kinetic energy, rather than stable fusion or decreased neutron output at temperature.
