The 1D neutron transport equation in plane geometry is considered. It is a linear integro-differential equation. To solve this equation a fixed point algorithm is used. The disadvantage of this iterative process is that the convergence is generally slow. In order to speed up the convergence, the authors introduce a correcting method using the diffusion approximation. For the numerical aspect, a discontinuous finite element method is considered. 13 refs., 4 figs.
