The radiation transport kernel has two factors, namely, the transition kernel and the collision kernel. Using the modified moments equations for analog and nonanalog games, families of zero-variance biasing schemes have been obtained for the two factors for evaluating reaction rate integrals using last-event, collision, and partial score estimators. It is shown that all zero-variance biasing schemes available in the literature belong to the respective family for each estimator.
