The point kinetics approach is a classical useful method for a reactor transient analysis. It is helpful to known, however, when a more elaborate transient analysis, involving the space-dependence change of the flux through a given transient, should be considered. In this paper, the authors present a rather elegant and quick method to check the need for a space-dependent flux analysis through a control rod transient in a given nuclear reactor. The method is applied to a series of rod ejection experiments in the TRIGA MARK-II reactor of Istanbul Technical University (ITU).
