← ScienceWithin a tokamak reactor, which outcome abruptly decreases the fusion power output?
A)Magnetohydrodynamic instability causes plasma quench✓
B)Increased bremsstrahlung radiation cools plasma
C)Energetic alpha particles are poorly confined
D)Neutron moderation damages divertor plates
💡 Explanation
Magnetohydrodynamic instability causes a plasma quench because magnetic confinement is disrupted, leading to rapid energy dissipation; therefore, fusion reactions cease because the plasma cools rather than bremsstrahlung cooling because that's a more gradual process.
