← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the ITER tokamak reaches ignition?
A)Runaway fusion chain reaction occurs
B)Self-sustaining plasma heating is achieved✓
C)Tritium breeding rate plummets rapidly
D)Magnetic confinement degrades catastrophically fast
💡 Explanation
Self-sustaining heating results because the alpha particles, a product of deuterium-tritium fusion, deposit their energy into the plasma via alpha heating, rather than requiring continuous external energy input; therefore, a sustained reaction occurs, not a runaway effect.
