A refined way of solving reactor point kinetics equations for imposed reactivity insertions

We apply the concept of convergence acceleration, also known as extrapolation, to find the solution of the reactor kinetics equations (RKEs). The method features simplicity in that an approximate finite difference formulation is constructed and converged to high accuracy from knowledge of the error...
