The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Erwin Scott. Scott worked at a ship yard until Uncle Sam called him in June 1943. He was at Fort Sam Houston when he volunteered for paratroop training. He was sent to Toccoa, Georgia for some training, Camp McCall, North Carolina for more training, to Fort Bragg for jump school and then back to Camp McCall. He went overseas as part of the 517th Regimental Combat Team; they got to Naples, Italy in May/June 1944. His battalion commander was Dick Sietz, the youngest battalion commander in World War II according to Scott. After staying in camp for about a week or 10 days, they went into combat and got as far as Leghorn after 30 days; then went back to camp (about 10 miles out of Rome). The jumped into southern France on August 15, 1944 and met up with the troops that had landed in Normandy. Scott states that over one-third of his platoon is buried in Europe. They were trucked into the Battle of the Bulge; very cold. This is where Scott froze one foot. He was sent to a hospital in England on December 27, …

A variational analysis is used to derive a mixed P{sub 1}DP{sub 0} (spherical harmonics-double spherical harmonics) angular approximation to the time-independent monoenergetic neutron transport equation with linearly anisotropic scattering in one-dimensional planar geometry. This mixed approximation contains a space-dependent weight factor {alpha}(x) that controls the local angular approximation used: {alpha}(x) = 1 yields the standard P{sub 1} (diffusion) approximation, {alpha}(x) = 0 gives the standard DP{sub 0} approximation, and 0 < {alpha}(x) < 1 produces a mixed approximation. The diffusion equation obtained differs from the standard P{sub 1} diffusion equation only in the definition of the diffusion coefficient. The variational analysis shows that both the scalar flux and the current are continuous at material interfaces regardless of the value of {alpha}(x). Standard Marshak boundary conditions are also obtained via the variational analysis. In this paper, they examine the use of this mixed angular approximation to more accurately treat material interfaces and vacuum boundaries. Numerical results from a mixed-oxide fuel test problem are presented to demonstrate that significant improvements in accuracy can be obtained using this method. For this test problem, the mixed P{sub 1}-DP{sub 0} angular approximation with {alpha} = 0.25 is found to be more robust than the standard …
