Well as this seems to be unpractical and inefficient I'd say it probably happened. Cool something down, then heat it up again and then you get a few hundred neutrons a second. Any commercial reactor needs millions, apparently. Probably happened, but also not vitally important in the scheme of things.

Just wait for the Torus research boys to sort something out, if they ever get round to building it of course.
