Rossi has stated that the energy released by the LENR reaction is in the form of moderate energy gamma rays(X-Rays?) These rays are converted into heat within the lead shielding and coolant. If this is true, heat to activate the core could be made to exit into the coolant to slow down the reaction. The actual temperature within the core section is perhaps 600(?) C degrees or more. You can find his statement within his journal if it is important to you. The 60 degree figure probably refers to the temperature of the water bath when the core reaches its starting value.

Why is electric heating still needed? Ok, there is cold water flowing in. They could run this through an internal heat exchanger and avoid electric preheating.
