Which risk increases when inertial confinement fusion reaches breakeven?

💡 Explanation

Neutron activation increases strongly with fusion power; the fusion process releases energetic neutrons. Therefore, structural materials will become radioactive via neutron capture, rather than alpha scattering because it occurs regardless of achieving breakeven or instabilities.
