Which risk increases when an inertial confinement fusion reactor pulse duration is extended through the Einstein equivalence principle?

💡 Explanation

Extending the pulse increases instability because the equivalence principle implies that the acceleration resisting inward compression decreases as fusion proceeds. Therefore, Rayleigh-Taylor instability grows more, rather than other effects that are less sensitive to acceleration profile.
