Which risk increases when tritium isotopes decay within fusion reactor walls?

💡 Explanation

Neutron embrittlement accelerates because helium generated by beta decay of tritium in the steel accumulates at grain boundaries, thus causing accelerated crack propagation rather than alternate outcomes confined to the plasma itself or coolant.
