Is my understanding correct that the short term stability of fast neutron liquid metal cooled reactors is based primarily on the thermal expansion of the core, while the Doppler coefficient is far less significant factor, as the Doppler coefficient primarily affects the low energy neutrons? (The internet research seem to confirm)
What is the fraction of thermal neutron fissions in some of the fast neutron reactors?
p.s. i know about delayed neutrons, and their role is same for both the fast neutron and thermal neutron reactors. I'm interested in the other mechanisms that put negative feedback on the prompt criticality
