The kinetics of multiplying media sustained by externally generated neutrons is examined. Point kinetics and diffusion theory considerations form the underlying basis. The results derived here constitute an extension of neutron kinetics analysis with ready applications to hybrid reactors and spallation accelerator blankets.
