In a circulating-fuel reactor, the circulation of the fuel causes a damping of power oscillations of the reactor. This is demonstrated under the assumption that there is no mechanical vibration coupled with the oscillation of reactor power, and that the shape of the hydrodynamic flow does not vary with time.
