March-Leuba, J; Smith, C M

An algorithm capable of automatically evaluating BWR stability has been developed. Main advantages are: Conservative estimate (asymptotic), adjusts to solve difficult conditions, confidence level, and error estimate. The apparent decay ratio (DR) is not a conservative estimate of the reactor stability. The asymptotic decay ratio must be used. Long enough record lengths must be used to reduce the uncertainty of the estimated DR.
