Which outcome results when a fusion reactor suffers fuel contamination?

💡 Explanation

Plasma confinement becomes unstable due to increased Bremsstrahlung radiation. Because impurities radiate energy intensely via the Bremsstrahlung mechanism this cools down the plasma. Therefore fusion yield severely drops, leading to confinement failure rather than changed radioactivity.
