More quantitatively, in the case that no control rods are foreseen in the SC [sub-critical core], the level of subcriticality should be such that the core stays sub-critical when going from a “hot” state (i.e. normal operation) to a “cold” state (i.e. reactor shut-down). Since thermal feed-back induces generally (e.g. in standard fast reactors) a positive reactivity effect … going from “hot” to “cold”, one can require that the “cold” core should stay sub-critical even in the case of an accidental reactivity insertion … due for example to coolant voidage.  1, record 1, English, - accidental%20reactivity%20insertion
