Abstract :
The use of the decay ratio as a practical stability measure of boiling water reactors is questioned.
Especially, it is shown that a reactor working at an operating point with a small decay ratio can be
closer to instability than a reactor with a larger decay ratio. Consequently, a reconsideration of the
practical use of the decay ratio is advocated
