CONT

Temperature changes occur more or less independently in the fuel, the heat transport system, and the moderator. There is a temperature coefficient of reactivity associated with each of these. The "self-regulating" characteristics ... require the overall temperature coefficient of a reactor to be negative, but changes in fuel temperature are the most important in determining the overall coefficient.

CONT

Les changements de température surviennent plus ou moins indépendamment dans le combustible, le circuit caloporteur et le modérateur. Il y a un coefficient de température de réactivité associé à chacun d'eux. Les caractéristiques d'«auto-régulation» [...] nécessitent un coefficient de température global négatif, mais les changements dans la température du combustible sont les facteurs les plus importants pour déterminer le coefficient global.
