Using 400 W to maintain his window of stability on a 12,000 W reactor implies that he is a far cry from a "safe" reactor. It implies that, if he pushes it to 13,000 W, he gets runaway. Based on this (gross) assumption, some really good feedback controls are going to be required on a commercial product. T
