← ScienceWhich 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.
