Which outcome occurs when fuel mixture lacks confinement during inertial fusion?

💡 Explanation

Reduced yield results because insufficient dwell time limits sustained thermonuclear fusion. The expansion decreases the reactants' density, causing a lower Lawson criterion value rather than significant cascades; therefore ignition fails rather than fusion continuation.
