A thermal nuclear reactor is in steady-state operation with no external neutron sources, in which the neutron generation time is 4E-4 (s). The reactivity is suddenly made positive and equal to 0.0024. Assume one group of delayed neutrons (Lambda = 0.08 1/s, Beta = 6.5E-3). Calculate the reactor power increase in percent of the initial power after time 2 (s). x= Number %
