I suspect that I did not get across what I had in mind in that paragraph. I was assuming that we were operating below the critical self sustaining level per my definition. In that case the net power being delivered to the core after the drive is removed is not sufficient to keep the device at the present temperature. This results in sustained cooling. Also, I am directing all of these effects to the operation of Rossi ECAT and not to LENR in general.

The evidence we have for Rossi's device is sketchy. But in the LENR experiments, it is not uncommon to read about a reaction that basically carries on autonomously, with intermittent temperature excursions and dips, until an unknown factor quenches the process at some time well after power has been switched off.
