Opacity effects, in particular of Lyman lines, in divertors are believed to be relevant for plasma spectroscopy and for the overall divertor dynamics through possible redistribution of excited hydrogen atoms and radiation losses. Quite elaborate computational radiation transport tools have been developed, specialized for numerous applications. The task in fusion research has been adaptation to fusion edge plasma conditions. In this paper, we start from an existing kinetic neutral particle code already well adapted to divertor applications, and extend this from the ‘particle’ simulation to an analogue ‘photon gas’ simulation. It is shown how this can be achieved and that a quite flexible and detailed divertor radiation transport code can conveniently be obtained. We apply this to study Lyman opacity effects on population kinetics and hydrogen divertor radiation losses. This article was scheduled to appear in issue 7 of Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion.
