← ScienceWhich risk increases when sustained fusion power decreases in a tokamak reactor?
A)Plasma disruption mechanical stresses increase✓
B)Helium ash production substantially reduces
C)Neutron flux remains constant always
D)Tritium breeding surpasses fuel consumption
💡 Explanation
Plasma disruptions can occur when fusion power drops because plasma instability increases; therefore, mechanical stresses from rapid energy deposition intensify, damaging the reactor, rather than reducing helium ash, neutron flux, or enhancing tritium production, which are linked to maintained fusion.
