If it operates in the way he claims and Dave has modelled then all he needs to do is put the reactor in a high temperature thermostatically controlled fluid bath, like molten salt, that has very steeply increased heat transfer out of the reactor when it rises above the bath temperature and it will then run just fine in self sustaining operation without electrical input and using a thermostatically controlled feed of coolant water to control the bath temperature. And I am sorry, but if he hasn't figured that out in the last 2 years then he is a total muppet.
