← ScienceWhich risk increases when inertial confinement fusion plasma cools rapidly?
A)Increased D-T fuel mixture purity
B)Decreased neutron flux production later✓
C)Enhanced alpha particle energy deposition
D)Improved plasma compression symmetry rapidly
💡 Explanation
Rapid cooling reduces fusion reactivity because decreased thermal energy reduces the ion collision frequency, curtailing thermonuclear fusion—that is, energy input through inertial confinement—therefore the neutron flux decreases rather than fuel purification or alpha deposition occurring from cooling.
