Recent extensions of the Transmission and Escape Probability methodology and its implementation in the 2‐D neutral transport code GTNEUT are presented. These extensions address the issues of anisotropy of the neutral distribution function at the interfaces and the non‐uniformity of the first collision source in short mean free path regions. Comparisons with Monte Carlo for a number of model problems are discussed. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
