Description

The temperature coefficients of reactivity of a swimming pool type material test research reactor have been calculated using standard computer codes. It is observed that the core reactivity loss due to increase in water temperature and void formation is sensitive to control rod position at criticality. The reactivity decreases more rapidly when the core volume is small. (author)
