Yes, what I mean is that theoretically you could do something like have a very very wide base to passively dump heat into the ground (since we're still only looking at kW scale reactors in space), or actively cycle large amounts of regolith through the cooling loop (say, via a heat exchanger from a closed water loop) and dump it out. Depending on how much heat the system can handle, you could maybe even extract stuff boiling off from the regolith.
