The thermal-neutron spectra in H/sub 2/O occurring in pulsed experiments were calculated. The energy-dependent Milne problem was treated using Nelkin's scattering kernel for water. The calculated energy distribution of neutrons at the interface was compared with a measured leakage spectrum from a large water geometry, and, because of the good agreement between theory and experiment, the leakage spectra of thermalized-neutron bursts was computed for slabs of finite thickness. The leakage spectra as well as the spectra in the center of the slabs show direct evidence for the diffusion cooling effect. (R.E.U.)
