The multistep direct TUL model has been extended in order to account for nuclear deformation. The new formalism was tested in calculations of neutron emission spectra from the {sup 232}Th(n, xn) reaction. These calculations include vibration-rotational coupled channels for the inelastic scattering to low-lying collective levels, ''deformed'' multistep direct (MSD) for inelastic scattering to the continuum, multistep compound, and Hauser-Feshbach with advanced treatment of the fission channel. Prompt fission neutrons were also calculated. The comparison with experimental data shows clear improvement over the ''spherical'' MSD calculations and JEFF-3.1 and JENDL-3.3 evaluations. Similar calculational results have been obtained of neutron emission spectra from the stable deformed nuclei {sup 181}Ta and {sup 184}W.
