The coupled two-core reactor systems with various degrees of spatial coupling were constructed in the Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA) to study the spatial kinetics observed in the control rod drop experiment. By applying the two-mode and the two-point kinetic models to the space-dependent rod worths measured on the basis of the one-point model, the first-harmonic λ-mode eigenvalue separation and the reactivity coupling coefficient were inferred. The present values of these parameters agreed with the results obtained by the reactor noise measurements and the diffusion calculations. <BR>The experimental results show that the magnitudes of the spatial kinetic phenomena including the dependence of the rod reactivity worth on the detector position, the reactivity interaction effect between control rods and the transient flux tilts induced by the rod drop, which have been significantly observed in large thermal and fast power reactors, are inversely proportional to the eigenvalue separation. Applying the two-mode model, the inherent reactivity worths of control rods were also inferred from the space-dependent ones.
