Which risk develops when inert fuel accumulates unevenly during deuterium-tritium fusion?

💡 Explanation

Reduced energy gain happens because incomplete mixing prevents sustained fusion. Thermonuclear ignition requires uniform fuel density: therefore, any localized build-up of inert material will quench the fusion reactions, rather than lead to uncontrolled initiation under reactor-grade conditions because these are self-limiting reactions with low neutron numbers.
