← ScienceWhich risk increases when controlled fusion plasma cools?
A)Instabilities quench fusion reaction's efficiency✓
B)Lower binding energy enhances alpha emission
C)Neutron flux causes chamber wall erosion
D)Increased energy confinement triggers runaway fusion
💡 Explanation
Instabilities rapidly quench fusion reactions because loss of temperature induces magnetohydrodynamic instability. This disrupts plasma confinement; therefore fusion yield drops rather than increasing energy confinement, and neutron flux or alpha particle emission only become significant at sustained fusion.
