# Point Kinetics Model

This module contains a model of the neutronic power with six groups of delayed neutrons (it could be easily changed to 8 groups if needed). 
Starting from the total reactivity (model input from the *ReactivityFeedbacks* module), this module calculates the time evolution of the fission power of the reactor. 
The total power take into account also the residual power (which is computed and provided by the *DeecayHeat* module).

The default values for \\(Tlife\\) (*prompt neutron lifetime*), \\(Beta\\) (*delayed neutron fraction*) and \\(lambda\\) (*decay constant*), valid for U235, are taken from *S. Marguet, La physique des réacteurs nucléaire, Ed. Lavoisier, 2013*.

The equations can also be derived from the same source, setting:
- \\(n(t)\\) proportional to \\(Pneut\\)
- \\(C_i(t)\\) proportional to \\(Pdelay\\)
