Which risk increases when fusion reactors experience thermal runaway?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway causes increased plasma temperature, and therefore drastically elevates the rate of instabilities. The electromagnetic confinement weakens because higher temperatures increase kinetic energy of the plasma particles, rather than maintaining the equilibrium with the magnetic field.
