Which risk increases within a tokamak when fusion product confinement degrades?

💡 Explanation

Increased alpha particle losses deposit energy unevenly within the tokamak walls. This occurs because reduced Alpha particle thermalization leads to alpha particles striking plasma-facing components, rather than plasma core heating. Therefore, bremsstrahlung radiation increases, rather than net energy production.
