Which outcome occurs when inertial confinement fusion reaches ignition?

💡 Explanation

Runaway thermal energy production occurs because during ignition the alpha particles from deuterium-tritium fusion deposit more energy into the plasma than is lost, therefore heating the fuel and accelerating the fusion reaction, rather than depleting the fuel immediately.
