← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a deuterium-tritium plasma reaches high Lawson criterion values?
A)Self-sustaining fusion chain reaction✓
B)Increased neutron absorption within walls
C)Plasma instabilities begin to dampen
D)Radiative heat losses reach minimum
💡 Explanation
Lawson criterion defines conditions for self-sustaining fusion; because of Alpha particle heating, sustained heat energy is achieved through nuclear fusion, therefore fusion reactions proliferate to a self-sustaining state, rather than plasma achieving greater stability.
