Explanation:
The prevalent terminology used in this context would be Kernkraft, rather than Atom.

I found an interesting reference in Ernst, context nuclear technology: void coefficient of reactivity - Leerraumkoeffizient der Reaktivität (auch Blasenkoeffizient der R.). From that I'd suggest that positiver Leerraumeffekt might be a possible solution.

Check Frank Dietz's home page, he maintains a huge list of links to monolingual and bilingual (E<>G) glossaries. If memory serves, he does list one that links to nuclear terminology.
