← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when control of deuterium-tritium plasma temperatures fails in a tokamak reactor?
A)Neutron flux exceeds shielding limits✓
B)Gamma radiation creates material defects
C)Electron temperature reaches equilibrium
D)Magnetic field self-confinement strengthens
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled temperature increase causes *fusion cross-section* to rise exponentially, because it permits more nuclei to overcome Coulomb repulsion; therefore neutron flux elevates rapidly toward dangerous levels, rather than benign equilibrium due to increasing confinement.
