[P40] P1 synthetic acceleration and convergence analysis for the solution of one-speed nonclassical spectral SN equations in slab geometry
ABSTRACT: In classical transport theory, the distribution of free-path lengths of particles traveling through the media is exponential. However, in certain inhomogeneous media, the locations of scattering centers are spatially correlated, leading...

[P39] A “consistent” quasidiffusion method for iteratively solving particle transport problems
ABSTRACT: The “Quasidiffusion” (QD) method is a well-known iterative technique for efficiently solving particle transport problems. Each QD iteration consists of a high-order SN sweep, followed by a low-order “Quasidiffusion” calculation. QD has ...

[P38] A linear programming-based methodology to determine the minimal neutron source distribution in subcritical systems
ABSTRACT: In this work, we present a linear programming-based methodology to determine the minimum intensity that a neutron source distribution must have to drive a subcritical system to a prescribed power distribution. The neutron source distrib...

[P37] Derivation of a multigroup diffusion equation for nonclassical problems
ABSTRACT: We have derived an asymptotic approximation to the nonclassical energy-dependent transport equation with isotropic scattering. This approximation reduces to the classical multigroup diffusion equation under the assumption of classical t...
