An improved space-time kinetics method that can be applied to the analysis of either fast or thermal reactor transients is presented. The method blends the concepts of formal reduction (i. e., the quasi-static method) and time synthesis into a single unified approach (called quasi-static synthesis) to handle spacetime equations. Preliminary results obtained with the method indicate reduced computer time, while maintaining computational accuracy, when compared to several other kinetics methods presently in use.
