Which risk increases when deuterium-tritium fuel isotopes are impure?

A)Substantial neutron absorption increases
B)Plasma confinement becomes unstable
C)Alpha particle heating decreases
D)Bremsstrahlung radiation production surges

💡 Explanation

Impure isotopes dilute the fuel in fusion reactors, weakening the rate of fusion; therefore, the alpha particle heating drops because this heat source relies on fusion reactions, rather than impurities strongly affecting neutron absorption, radiation, or plasma stability.
