Which 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.
