← ScienceWhich risk increases when a tokamak plasma disrupts?
A)Runaway electron avalanche formation✓
B)Increased alpha particle confinement
C)Decreased neutron flux production
D)Enhanced plasma energy confinement
💡 Explanation
Runaway electron formation is accelerated during disruptions via the Dreicer mechanism because large inductive voltages appear, therefore accelerating electrons to relativistic speeds; rather than enhanced confinement the plasma rapidly cools.
