Division Spotlight
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

In this paper, transport theory methods have been used to obtain a modified form of the PN approximation. This modification involves use of the exact asymptotic roots instead of the PN roots, resulting in a corresponding change in the Marshak free surface boundary conditions. Various numerical examples of this transport theoretic PN approximation have been given.
