"The incoming fusion neutrons sustain the temperature of the circulating liquid metal, whose heat would be extracted to drive a turbine."

I assume this means a steam turbine (heat engine). With the losses inherent in that process, I assume the idea is we'll have a "limitless" source of heat anyway?

Or is heat transfer inherently better with this fusion design?
