Abstract
A single-pass treatment of voids in finite element transport theory is obtained by a direct least squares method applied to the first-order Boltzmann equation. The formulation has a maximum principle whose functional is free of terms of the type that have previously led to difficulties in treating void regions. The method is applied to several benchmark shield problems with voids. Preliminary results are encouraging, and indicate the potential of the method for dealing with void problems in general.
