abstract = "We apply the mathematical procedure of convergence acceleration to the reactor kinetics equation in plane geometry. The featured concept is to take the most fundamental (consistent) finite difference numerical algorithm and show how, by extrapolating a sequence of solutions, a considerably more accurate solution emerges. We demonstrate this new algorithm on the time evolution of a reactor from an initial critical system to another through perturbation of the cross sections. In the demonstration, we consider convergence of the centreline flux at a specific time and convergence of keff.",
