Perhaps they will find a way to make it run without this in the future. In any case, it continues in self-sustaining mode far beyond the limits of chemistry, and the energy used to reheat it is far less than the energy it produces continuously during the self-sustaining period. > Both Defkalion and Rossi claim that this is necessary.

In any case, that has no bearing on the heat balance, and the fact that the heat is where it is needed during the self-sustaining operation, and does not need to be conveyed anywhere else. - Jed
