A computational technique is described for computation of the probability distribution of power level for a low source reactor startup. The technique uses a mathematical model, for the time-dependent probability distribution of neutron and precursor concentration, having finite neutron lifetime, one group of delayed neutron precursors, and no spatial dependence. Results obtained by the technique are given. (auth)
