Which risk increases when a tokamak reaches high plasma density?

A)Increased neutron flux to coils
B)Reduced ohmic heating efficiency
C)Elevated bremsstrahlung radiation losses
D)Spontaneous helium ash accumulation

💡 Explanation

Increased plasma density elevates electron-ion collision frequency driving Bremsstrahlung via the bremsstrahlung mechanism; radiated power scales with density squared. Therefore, elevated bremsstrahlung radiation is likely, rather than neutron flux which depends more on fusion rate increases or helium ash accumulation.
