Abstract

A method is presented for solving neutron transport problems in slab geometry with the application of discrete ordinates numerical integration to the Boltzmann transport equation. Neutron spectra for water, iron and carbon layers are calculated and compared with experimental data. Good agreement is obtained between computed and measured values for both angular distributions and the energy spectra of neutrons. The calculated neutron spectra in an iron-water layer are also presented as an example of solutions derivable for neutron transport problems in multi-layered shield.
