← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when radiation escapes inertial confinement fusion?
A)Reduced plasma confinement time✓
B)Increased fusion reaction rate
C)Enhanced alpha particle heating
D)Improved fuel pellet compression
💡 Explanation
Reduced plasma confinement results because radiative losses cool the plasma via Bremsstrahlung radiation, inhibiting Coulomb interactions; therefore plasma pressure decreases rapidly, rather than sustaining fusion, which requires overcoming radiation losses.
