Which risk increases when pulsed laser fusion ignites deuterium-tritium fuel?

A)Neutron embrittlement of reactor materials
B)Increased alpha particle confinement losses
C)Reduced bremsstrahlung radiation emission
D)Enhanced magnetic field containment strength

💡 Explanation

Neutron embrittlement increases because nuclear fusion releases high energy neutrons from deuterium-tritium reactions. The neutron activation mechanism degrades the mechanical properties. Therefore, embrittlement rises rather than benefitting from changes in other fusion byproducts.
