There is a concept called “hot swaping” where a module is replaced

This is how the Rossi reactor should be built where hot swapping of
the small modules is possible.
I do not think hot swapping is practical when the cells are physically
this hot. It would be like hot-swapping a burning stove in a restaurant.
Usually when you perform "hot-swapping" there is a so-called redundant
or backup "slot" to replace an important unit,
while keeping the whole system operational without any noticeable
service-interruption.
This is at least how telecom operators keep their transmission lines and
exchanges running while they do maintenance at the same time on the
faulty unit.
In this case before removing a faulty unit you would naturally have to
cool it down first.
B.t.w. I like the modular concept very much, it's like working with Lego
Building Blocks.
Kind regards,
