The advanced neutron source (ANS) facility will incorporate a large number of beam tubes to provide very large thermal neutron fluxes to experimental facilities. The purpose of this work was to obtain angular fluxes of the thermal and fast neutron and gamma ray in a beam tube for the ANS intermediate reference core E3 (final preconceptual core geometry with the E3 version of fuel grading). In this paper, the coupled two-dimensional radiation transport calculations employed to estimate the angular neutron and gamma-ray fluxes are described, and the results from these calculations are discussed.
