Title: IMPROVED ITERATION IN NEUTRON TRANSPORT CALCULATIONS BY ALTERNATING BETWEEN DIFFUSION AND Sn CYCLES

Abstract

An inner iteration procedure in transport calculations that entails alternate cycles of simple diffusion and sn calculations is outlined. Simple diffusion theory in this way becomes numerically embedded in transport theory. A method for explicit solution (without iteration) of the diffusion equations is also sketched. (D.C.W.)
