Which outcome occurs when insufficient gravity constrains deuterium plasma experiencing significant electroweak radiative losses within a hypothetical fusion reactor?

💡 Explanation

Fusion quenching occurs because decreased gravitational confinement allows plasma expansion resulting in lowered density which then triggers increased electroweak Bremsstrahlung. This leads to energy loss scaling faster than generated fusion energy; therefore, the reaction rapidly terminates rather than achieving stable burn.
