Neutron Kinetics: Reactor Kinetics and Point Kinetics Equations

This lecture covers reactor kinetics, including the point kinetics equations for neutron population, reactivity variations, and the physical significance of parameters like neutron lifetime and delayed neutrons. The instructor explains the reactivity equation, stable reactor periods, and the impact of delayed neutrons on reactor control. The lecture also delves into the Inhour equation, Laplace transforms for reactor dynamics, and the application of point kinetics equations in reactor stability analysis.
