They talk more about neutron loss, bremsstrahlung radiation and synchrotron radiation instead of blackbody radiation. A paper on this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.06251 So I did some searching, and found this stack exchange asking this question: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/415028/how-do-fu... . They argued that because fusion reactor plasma is optically thin, it doesn&#x27;t radiate following blackbody radiation law. This textbook also say that…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2104.06251/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>physics.plasm-ph
