In safety calculations of nuclear reactors, dynamic calculations are of great interest. This type of calculation is mainly done by making an approximation and then using a deterministic code to solve the simplified problem. In this paper a full Monte Carlo method is proposed to perform these calculations on seconds to minutes scale without approximations.
