You would not need to go to 90C. The concept of heating a volume of water is
very valid.
Also if you use one of those portable spas (example "Spa in a Box" for less
than $1k- google the pictures), it goes together fast and could be easily
checked for hidden items since it is just insulation panels and vinyl. You
could also place it on a predetermined concrete slab at some third party site.
My spa in a box goes up about 1F/hour with the top insulation in place. (in put
at 1kW)
It is easy to fill and measure water as it goes in. It went together from the
box in less than an hour.
You can also very easily calculate the volume by a simple octagonal prism
calculation.
Try it and you will see how easy it really is.
I figure anything over 1.5 will stick out like a sore thumb even with heat
loss. You could have your answer within a few hours.

PS they come with a circulator that you could run for a minute to mix if you
wish.
(you just don't want to turn the bubbles on since it really dumps the heat into
the air.)

Keep it simple.
Fill a 10,000 gallon insolated tank
truck with 20C water, and run it in a loop to the Ni/H reactor.
That is not simple at all. Also, this would not work.
When the
temperature of the water in the truck gets to 90C, the case is proven.
This would not happen, unless the tank was extremely well insulated. An
ordinary tank truck for water is not insulated.
If it were extremely well insulated it would impossible for the viewer to
determine the volume of the container. It would also be easy to hide a heater
inside it.
This would take a long time, and the viewer would not have the gumption to keep
watching hour after hour.
That is why I said this is not simple.
