| Abstract: | The albedo data are important for use in solving the radiation streaming problem with albedo techniques, such as albedo Monte Carlo and albedo-Sn methods. This paper describes a method for calculating the energy-angle dependent doubly differential albedos for slab geomery with one-dimensional transport theory, based on the invariant imbedding method as well as the Sn method. Neutron albedo data calculated by the invariant imbedding method, are compared with those calculated by the Sn method and with the experimental data. It is found that the invariant imbedding method can be used to calculate the albedo data for a semi-infinitely thick slab several dozens of times faster than when using the Sn method. The calculated results have excellent agreement with the measured values. |
