Christmas Light
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

The development of a diffusion-accelerated Sn transport method for the solution of temperature-coupled radiation flow problems on a spatial mesh of arbitrary quadrilaterals in r-z geometry is presented. The diffusion acceleration equation is derived from the diamond-like transport spatial discretization. The effectiveness of the method is shown on an example calculation and computation times are indicated.
