← ScienceWhich process limits fusion in a tokamak reactor?
A)Alpha particle thermalisation loss scaling✓
B)Neutron moderation cross-section collapse
C)Deuterium-Tritium isotopic fraction reduction
D)Tritium breeding reaction saturation
💡 Explanation
Alpha particle thermalisation losses limit fusion output because confinement time decreases as heavier alpha particles deposit energy inefficiently. Therefore, fusion yield is decreased, rather than limited by neutron moderation or tritium availability, which are separate issues.
