In order to obtain more precise results different variance reduction techniques such as forced collision, implicit capture, and Russian-Roulette are taken into consideration. For different incident directions of the neutrons and in the case of both isotropic and linear anisotropic scatterings, the albedo and transmission factor are estimated from the Monte Carlo and compared with the results obtained from the H_(N=7) deterministic method. It is seen that in most cases, the results of both Monte Carlo and H_(N=7) methods are comparable with each other. In some cases, it is also observed that the deterministic method falls short in predicting the albedo and transmission factor, whereas, in contrast, the results of the Monte Carlo are physically meaningful.}, number={1}, publisher={Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi}
