Funny thing, it works better when linked with said auxiliary generators. It's peak power could reach 900 kW, with 100 kW waste. (but of course it's no longer compact reactor)
There's too little volume for the MHD (that is, tapping energy directly from the reactor) to work. The reactor waste friggin 800 kW as heat by itself.
On the other hand, you could just link it to 20 kN compressor to make a jet engine that theoretically can work for DAYS with a 100 liter water tank.
