Resumen:
Consider a system of independent random walks in the discrete torus withcreation-annihilation of particles and possible explosion of thetotal number of particles in finite time. Rescaling space and rates for diffusion/creation/annihilation of particles, we obtain a stong law of large numbers for the density of particles in thesupremum norm. The limiting object is a classical solution to the semilinearheat equation $\p_t u=\p_{xx} u + f(u)$. If $f(u)=u^p$, $1<p\leq 3$,  we also obtain a law of large numbers for the explosion time.
