Not just proportional to 1/ mass, but to 1/mass^4 IIRC.

Dropping the mass by 10% increases power by about 52%
Half the mass -> 16 times the output.

So, yeah, quite unstable a reactor.
Hence, "an inverse" rather than "the inverse" in the earlier post - couldn't quite remember the power, but knew it was > 1.
