← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when deuterium-tritium fuel purity diminishes within a tokamak reactor?
A)Increased alpha particle confinement losses
B)Increased neutron flux energy broadening
C)Reduced plasma temperature reactivity gain✓
D)Enhanced resistive heating instabilities growth
💡 Explanation
Reduced fuel purity leads to lower fusion rates and reduced fusion product heating due to FUEL DILUTION, because the concentration of reactants diminishes, therefore the plasma temperature suffers a loss of power, rather than increased instabilities, which are linked more closely to magnetic field configurations.
