Features: This book is divided into 8 chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the basic knowledge of reactor neutron dynamics. Chapter 3 primarily discusses a new solution method for the neutron kinetic equations under the condition of an external neutron source. Chapter 4 discusses both the traditional and new solution methods for the neutron kinetic equations under the condition of no external neutron source. Chapters 5 and 6 introduce new solution methods for the neutron kinetic equations under the conditions of temperature feedback and poison feedback. Chapter 7 introduces both the traditional and new numerical solution methods for the neutron kinetic equations of a point reactor. Chapter 8 briefly introduces the spatiotemporal dynamics of a reactor. The new methods in the book are particularly suitable for real-time and extended-time calculations in reactor operation sites. This book can serve as a teaching reference for master's students in the field of nuclear reactor engineering and can also be used as a reference for engineering technicians and researchers in related fields.
