Which outcome results if a fusion reactor's confinement collapses?

💡 Explanation

If confinement collapses, deuterium-tritium plasma rapidly expands. This causes rapid cooling via decreased density; therefore fusion reactions stop because temperatures fall below critical values for overcoming the Coulomb barrier, rather than more neutrons or better tritium breeding.
