Angle-dependent neutron leakage spectra above 0.5 MeV from Li/sub 2/O slab assemblies were measured accurately by the time-of-flight method. The measured angles were 0/sup 0/, 12.2/sup 0/, 24.9/sup 0/, 41.8/sup 0/ and 66.8/sup 0/. The sizes of Li/sub 2/O assemblies were 31.4 cm in equivalent radius and 5.06, 20.24 and 40.48 cm in thickness. The data were analyzed by a new transport code ''BERMUDA-2DN''. Time-independent transport equation is solved for two-dimensional, cylindrical, multi-regional geometry using the direct integration method in a multi-group model. The group transfer kernels are accurately obtained from the double-differential cross section data without using Legendre expansion. The results were compared absolutely. While there exist discrepancies partially, the calculational spectra agree well with the experimental ones as a whole. The BERMUDA code was demonstrated to be useful for the analyses of the fusion neutronics and shielding.
