Dr.  Barry D.  Ganapol gave a paper at the ANS summer meeting.  The
paper was titled _The Solution to the Nuclear Reactor Kinetic Equations
with a Continuous Slowing Down Model Using Numerical Laplace Transform
Inversion_.  He evaluates the inversion on the Bromwich contour and uses
some change of variables.  There isn't enough detail in the transactions
for me to understand the method, but I can send a copy if you want.  You
might want to do a literature search for other papers written by Dr. 
Ganapol or contact him at the University of Arizona.
