Yes, it makes sense to think there is still a closed reactor within the 'thick doughnut'. It shows also, in that case, that control of this unit seems well working, since instead of having a flow of cooling fluid a very restricted form of air cooling is applied here. The use of a hydride tablet seems very logic. This is not very exotic.
