Which outcome reduces sustained fusion energy output due to instability?

💡 Explanation

A plasma quench, driven by MHD instabilities, causes rapid loss of confinement because the released energy impacts the reactor walls via thermal conduction rather than controlled fusion reactions. Therefore, energy output decrease happens with a quench rather than other flux scenarios.
