← ScienceWhich risk complicates sustained fusion reactors using deuterium?
A)Neutron activation embrittles structural materials✓
B)Gamma radiation excites plasma instabilities
C)Alpha particles quench magnetic confinement
D)Bremsstrahlung dissipates intense thermal energy
💡 Explanation
Neutron activation occurs because deuterium-tritium fusion produces high-energy neutrons, therefore embrittling structural materials, rather than alpha particles quenching confinement, because alpha particles are charged and easily contained magnetically.
