ABSTRACT: In this work, we present an extension of the nonclassical transport model, namely the generalized linear Boltzmann equation (GLBE), to eigenvalue criticality problems. The GLBE is a generalization of the linear Boltzmann equation that allows the modeling of particle transport in random statistically homogeneous systems in which the free-path distribution function 𝑝(𝜴, 𝑠) is non-exponential. This type of problem is referred to as a nonclassical transport problem. The model’s ability to accurately replicate the expected value for the system’s effective multiplication factor and the profile of the neutron scalar flux for both classical and nonclassical transport problems is analyzed.
