Abstract
The present contribution describes a point kinetics model for nuclear reactor control, that besides the neutron population and the delayed precursor concentration also considers two neutron poisons. The nonlinear equation system is solved for a selection of initial conditions. For the oscillatory reactivity case the influence of the small time scales on the large time scales are observed.
