A study is made of the kinetics equations associated with two group reactor theory. The method involves expansions of each of the fluxes in an infinite series, each term of which is a product of a space-dependent eigenfunction and a time-dependent factor. Techniques are provided for the rigorous determination of transient flux shapes as well as the eventual stable or asymptotic flux shapes.
