Which thermodynamic benefit results if deuterium-tritium fusion plasma achieves ignition?

💡 Explanation

Ignition in D-T fusion marks the onset of self-sustaining fusion due to alpha heating balancing energy losses. Radiation losses decrease because alpha particles deposit energy in the confined plasma, therefore energy output exceeds costs rather than plasma cooling.
