I know that it is only an approximation to get an idea, but at times it works quite well (in class we solved the kinetics equation for a PWR reactor (point-reactor model) with MATLAB and then we plotted the solution along with the prompt jump approximation... It was very good).
But I did not fully understand when you can use it. It seems to me that the main conditions are:
1) very small mean generation time
2) I have a step of reactivity very far from 1$ (much smaller or bigger).
Any other constraints ? (Point-reactor model for kinetics equation must hold in the first place)
Thanks Ric
