Which outcome occurs when helium ash accumulates during D-T fusion?

A)Increases neutron flux production linearly
B)Slows plasma burn rate exponentially
C)Increases Lawson criterion achievement margin
D)Reduces the effective plasma temperature

💡 Explanation

Helium ash build-up reduces temperature because *radiative losses* dissipate the plasma's energy through bremsstrahlung radiation. Therefore, plasma temperature drops, rather than burn rate increasing as more fuel is needed with high helium content.
