Cooling is not a problem, we have a guy that designed the cooling for the Candu reactors. Al came up with a cooling unit for a portable high power laser system for us awhile ago. He's got it down to convection driven liquid nitrogen with a delta T of over 140 degrees in the size of a pop can. If you can spare 18" in a regular telco rack in the POP , you could put 4 - 8 such units in. Tim Gibson Skyscape Communications On Fri, 8 Aug 1997, Chris A.
