    The paper addresses a linear three-dimensional kinetic equation, which models the transport of neutrons in the product of the coordinate and velocity spaces. The objective is to rigorously prove the existence and regularity of solutions over a long time interval. The main technical difficulty is handling the respective boundary conditions -- in particular, those in the coordinate subspace which correspond to a nonconvex shape of the spatial domain. The proof is based on the method of stochastic cycles, which was previously applied to produce rigorous results for the Boltzmann equation.
