I, too, am very curious how they plan to dissipate the heat...

High radiation, can’t dissipate heat, not instantly serviceable. I struggle to think of a worse application for a space station.

Well maybe a convenience store.

Maybe they could heat some water with it and spin some things .. or a giant thermocouple?
