← ScienceWhich risk increases when a Tokamak's fuel-ion temperature limit exceeds design?
A)Increased neutron production and activation✓
B)Decreased plasma confinement time
C)Increased disruption probability
D)Decreased fusion power gain
💡 Explanation
Increased ion temperature enhances the likelihood of energetic nuclear reactions resulting in neutron production via nuclear fusion; because neutrons can activate reactor materials increasing radioactivity risks, therefore this, rather than decreased performance metrics, poses the primary safety challenge.
