Reactor kinetics is the study of the dynamic behavior of nuclear reactors, focusing on the changes in neutron population and how they affect reactor power over time. It is essential for understanding the stability, control, and safety of nuclear reactors during both normal operations and transient conditions.

Neutron population refers to the number of neutrons present in a nuclear reactor at any given time, which is crucial for sustaining a controlled nuclear chain reaction. The balance between neutron production and loss determines the reactor's criticality, influencing power output and safety.
