A linear analytical dynamic model is developed for steam cooled fast power reactors. All main components of such a plant are investigated on a general, though relatively simple, basis. The model is distributed in those parts concerning the core but lumped as to the external plant components. Coolant is considered as compressible and treated by the actual steam law. Combined use of analog and digital computer seems most attractive.
