Abstract
In neutronically large cores of power reactors anomalous reactivity effects can occur due to space-dependent coolant temperature feedback. These effects are contrary to reactor physical intuition, e.g. power increase after control rod insertion. A quantitative analysis and physical interpretation of these anomalies is presented, based on two relatively simple reactor models and application of adjoint function theory.
