Talking about removing heat from nuclear reactions, I see that Cassiopeia A
 (Cas A)   11,000 light-years away,  is the location of a neutron star.
A neutron star that is cooling rather fast. From 2.12 million degrees to
 2.04 million degrees, a drop of 4 percent in 10 years. How could that 
happen?
Neutrinos flooding  from the superfluid state displayed by that body,
is the newly fashionable theory.
