Prompt criticality
Sustained nuclear fission achieved solely by prompt neutron emission
In nuclear engineering, prompt criticality describes a nuclear fission event in which criticality is achieved with prompt neutrons alone and does not rely on delayed neutrons. As a result, prompt supercriticality causes a much more rapid growth in the rate of energy release than other forms of criticality. Nuclear weapons are based on prompt criticality, while nuclear reactors rely on delayed neutrons or external neutrons to achieve criticality.
