SKINATH - a computer program for solving the reactor point kinetics equations with simple thermal-hydraulic feedback

A FORTRAN computer program named SKINATH has been developed for solving the reactor point kinetics equations with simple thermal-hydraulic feedback. The program utilizes the ordinary differential equation solver, LSODE, developed by Hindmarsh at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Based on comparisons with both analytical and other numerical solution techniques, the program gives accurate results with impressively short run times.
