A novel formulation of the problem of boundedness and stability of the power level of a nuclear reactor describable by a nonlinear model is presented. A sufficient criterion for boundedness and stability is derived and proved to be equivalent to the criterion suggested by Welton. The criterion is illustrated by means of two examples.
