A monte Carlo method of solving the one-dimensional equations of nonlinear radiation transport is compared with the Sn "characteristics" method of solution. It is concluded that the Monte Carlo method is accurate and stable and furthermore for a given time-cycle length and space-zone size the Monte Carlo method is more accurate than the Sn method.
