← TechnologyWhich risk increases during the quench of a superconducting magnet column?
A)Cryostat internal pressure spike✓
B)Consistent helium volume reduction
C)Uniform magnetic field distribution
D)Overall reduction of thermal stress
💡 Explanation
Rapid loss of superconductivity causes rapid Ohmic heating during a quench; the vaporisation of the liquid helium coolant results in significant pressure increase because rapid heat input exceeds the cryostat's venting capacity. Therefore, pressure risks outweigh cooling rather than stabilised conditions.
