The method is based on within node general solution of the conventional one–dimensional 𝑺𝑵 transverse integrated equations considering constant approximations for the transverse leakage terms and obtaining the 𝑺𝑵 spatial balance equations. The discretized equations are solved by using a modified Source Iteration scheme without additional approximations since the average angular fluxes are computed analytically in each iteration. The numerical algorithm of the method presented here is algebraically simpler than other spectral nodal methods in the literature for the type of problems we have considered. Numerical results to two typical model problems are presented to test the accuracy of the offered method.1-14openAccessalgorithmsdeterministic estimationdiscrete ordinate methodfinite difference methodgreen functionneutron leakageneutron transport theorynodal expansion methodArtigo de periódico3A810.15392/bjrs.v8i3A.1268Sem Percentil
