The two-group one-dimensional neutron transport equation with isotropic scattering is studied. No analytical solution is found, but the equations are cast in a form that is convenient for numerical computation. This computation involves the solution of two coupled singular integral equations. The explicit form of these equations is obtained for two half-space problems—the Milne problem and the constant isotropic source problem.
