We have found that noise destroys the Hopf bifurcation in BWR so that the Lyapunov exponent takes negative values in any case near the onset of power oscillation. Consequently, the values of decay ratio (DR) always take a value less than 1. Theoretical prediction based on the theory of stochastic bifurcation is verified with the use of practical time series data. A new method of the stochastic dynamics of phase-difference is also proposed, and its powerfulness is demonstrated.
