In the dangerous situation of prompt criticality in a fission reactor, the generation time drops to 100

Question:

In the dangerous situation of prompt criticality in a fission reactor, the generation time drops to 100 μs as prompt neutrons sustain the chain reaction. If a reactor goes prompt critical with k = 1.001, how long does it take for a 100-fold increase in reactor power?
