Which risk increases when a tokamak reaches current quench?

💡 Explanation

During a tokamak current quench, the rapid collapse of the magnetic field induces a large electric field. This leads to runaway electron generation because electrons gain energy faster than they lose it to collisions; therefore avoiding these energetic particles is a huge limiter, rather than altered current properties inside.
