← ScienceWhich risk increases when a magnetic confinement fusion reactor experiences resistive heating?
A)Plasma instability and disruption forms✓
B)Neutron flux decreases significantly inside
C)Helium ash accumulation rate is minimized
D)Tritium breeding ration decreases rapidly
💡 Explanation
Resistive heating elevates plasma temperature unevenly causing magnetohydrodynamic instabilities; these then lead to rapid and destructive plasma disruptions because current concentrates, therefore instability increases, rather than a stable reaction.
