Extensions of the 2D Transmission and Escape Probability neutral particle transport method in treating
the spatial non-uniformity of collision sources and neutral energy effects are presented. These extensions
have been tested by benchmarks against Monte Carlo calculations for specially designed models and for
realistic DIII-D discharges. The comparisons indicate these extensions improve accuracy of the TEP
method.
