TeachMeFinance.com - explain Moderator temperature coefficient of reactivity Moderator temperature coefficient of reactivity The term 'Moderator temperature coefficient of reactivity' as it applies to the area of nuclear science can be defined as ' As the moderator (water) increases in temperature, it becomes less dense and slows down fewer neutrons, which results in a negative change of reactivity. This negative temperature coefficient acts to stabilize atomic power reactor operations. '. About the author
