Abstract	A hybrid Quasi-diffusion/Monte Carlo Method for solving multigroup criticality problems in slab geometry was investigated. Analog Monte Carlo was used to calculate functionals (Eddington Factors) that were then used in solution of the quasi-diffusion equations. The hybrid method was shown to accurately and precisely predict the k-eigenvalue and fission source distribution for loosely coupled problems with high dominance ratios and significant spatial gradients. The hybrid method was also shown to be computationally more efficient than analog Monte Carlo.
