← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a tokamak experiences disruptions?
A)Plasma quench causes thermal shock✓
B)Increased neutron flux improves heating
C)Stable plasma sustains fusion
D)Magnetic field cancels toroidal currents
💡 Explanation
The plasma loses confinement and rapidly contacts the vessel walls; this induces a large heat flux because uncontrolled release of energy due to plasma quench overwhelms the system limiting the thermal shock, therefore, a thermal shock occurs rather than stable fusion.
