← ScienceWhich risk is amplified when hydrogen isotopes leakage occurs within a tokamak reactor's vacuum vessel?
A)Elevated thermal runaway propagation
B)Increased rate of void nucleation
C)Enhanced tritium permeation through steel✓
D)Diminished magnetic confinement strength
💡 Explanation
Hydrogen isotope leakage elevates tritium permeation due to increased concentration gradients; the permeation mechanism follows Fick's law of diffusion. Therefore, more tritium passes through the vessel walls, rather than A, B, or D, which require different mechanisms or triggers.
