The following calculations

show the thermal decline curve for the case:
5 Mass (kg)
748 Thermal Power (w) for powered equilibrium
600 Mass Temp. (°C) at powered equilibrium = T0
1484.9 Thermal Decay Time Constant (s) = Tau
taken from mode 3, line 3, of:

This demonstrates the cutoff occurs at the temperature at which all
power is going to merely heating the water, with none left to boil
the water.

In the "Corrections to "heat after death" calculations" I posted

However, Mattia Rizzi made a sound argument for a flow rate of 3
liters per hour, or about 0.83 g/s, for the Krivit demo, in his post:

There is thus a good possibility this setting was used in other
tests. If true then the feasibility of a 15 minute "heat after
death" observation without any excess (nuclear) heat being provided
looks far more feasible. See:
