← ScienceWhich outcome rapidly disrupts plasma equilibrium inside a tokamak reactor?
A)Increased Alfvén wave instability✓
B)Decreased tritium breeding ratio
C)Enhanced electron cyclotron heating
D)Reduced poloidal magnetic field
💡 Explanation
Increased Alfvén wave instability leads to disruptions because it causes rapid energy loss, therefore destabilizing the plasma equilibrium conditions rather than heating it, which could achieve it, albeit briefly relative to instability.
