It is the maximum electric power input. In fact, the reactor produced 12 kW. Cooling of metal won't decline as fast as "nuclear reaction rate" will > unless the heater is a hoax to begin with.

It did not take 15 minutes for the nuclear reaction to cease. It did not cease. It was continuing unabated at the same power level after 15 minutes. They turned on the power again. If they had not, the anomalous power might have continued indefinitely. Some heat after death reactions have lasted for hours, and some for days. Of course if it had been stored up heat in metal, the apparent power would have declined. - Jed
