The FN method is used to establish particularly accurate solutions, at modest cost, for the emerging angular fluxes basic to a class of multigroup particle-transport problems. A study of the fundamental computational aspects of the established solution is reported, and numerical results are given, accurate to five significant figures, for the reflected and transmitted angular fluxes relevant to a 16-group albedo problem and to a 19-group albedo problem.
