← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the pressure significantly drops within a tokamak fusion reactor's plasma chamber?
A)Increased radiative energy loss
B)Enhanced plasma confinement stability
C)Greater fuel-ion kinetic energy
D)Decreased fusion reaction frequency✓
💡 Explanation
Decreased pressure lowers the particle density, reducing the collision rate. Because fusion reaction frequency directly correlates with particle collisions involving overcoming the Coulomb barrier, the fusion rate decreases due to reduced tunneling probability, therefore fusion drops rather than increases, or radiative losses that demand plasma existence.
