approximation in reactor kinetics that the prompt neutron population responds instantly to a reactivity change, leaving delayed neutrons to set slower behaviour.

In reactor physics, prompt jump approximation refers to approximation in reactor kinetics that the prompt neutron population responds instantly to a reactivity change, leaving delayed neutrons to set slower behaviour. This meaning comes from Henry (1975) in Nuclear-reactor analysis.[1]
