    compare. This is misleading, because the cause of the Chernobyl accident was not primarily a positive temperature coefficient but rather a positive "void coefficient of reactivity" (3) in the water-graphite system, which led to the reactor running away. Such positive void coefficients are impossible in a light water reactor, but not in a pebble bed reactor with a heavy...
