With recently published results of Kaper et al. as a basis, accurate extrapolated endpoints have been calculated for homogeneous pulsed slabs and spheres. The neutrons were assumed to be monoenergetic and to scatter isotropically. In contrast to P3 calculations, the results indicate a zero slope at small bucklings of the curve describing the extrapolated endpoint as a function of buckling.
