Which risk increases when hydrogen isotopes fuel magnetically-confined plasma fusion?

💡 Explanation

Neutron embrittlement increases because deuterium-tritium fusion produces high-energy neutrons. These neutrons bombard the vessel walls, causing defects in the material’s crystal structure; therefore embrittlement, rather than gamma or alpha radiation risks are amplified.
