Well, yes, this might work, but to my mind the basic problem is that if
I (as a warmongering weapons designer, of course) had a way to heat
something to 300 million times the core temperature of the sun, I'm
afraid the first thought to pop to mind wouldn't be, "OH BOY, now I can
DETECT NEUTRINOS!" :-)
