In a nuclear reactor, in-core stability is improved, power density is increased, and an economical natural-circulation reactor (or partial forced-circulation reactor) is achieved. The reactor core has a void reactivity coefficient between -0.07 and -0.03% DELTAk/k/% void fraction. This void reactivity coefficient range is achieved by, for example, the design of the by-pass portion and channel box, the enrichment distribution along the axial direction, the provision of blanket areas, and/or the arrangement of water rods and fuel rods within a channel box.
