Which outcome results when fusion reactor plasma reaches current limits?

A)Major disruption and energy quench
B)Increased neutron flux uniformity
C)Enhanced alpha particle confinement
D)Improved bootstrap current generation

💡 Explanation

Large plasma currents nearing stability limits trigger magnetohydrodynamic instabilities that cause an abrupt loss of confinement, called a disruption, because magnetic reconnection converts field energy to heat, rapidly quenching the plasma rather than increased neutron uniformity.
