> The stability and instability properties of homogeneous nuclear reactors with a single temperature coefficient of reactivity that is temperature dependent are studied by means of Liapounoff's second method. The special case of a temperature coefficient that is linearly dependent on temperature is solved completely for a space-independent model and it is shown that all solutions are bounded and tend asymptotically to a constant, if the reactivity decreases as the temperature approaches large values. In some conditions, the reactor has two stable equilibrium points. (auth)
