← ScienceWhich risk increases when tokamak plasma composition shifts with high-Z isotopes?
A)Increased neutron activation of components✓
B)Improved energy confinement timescale
C)Reduced disruption event frequency
D)Enhanced tritium breeding capability
💡 Explanation
Increased high-Z isotopes elevates radiative losses; bremsstrahlung increases because of greater nuclear charge causing greater electromagnetic radiation from decelerating electrons, therefore neutron activation risk arises, rather than improved confinement; other options reduce with high-Zs.
