Abstract

A Michaudon et al 1981 Oxford: Pergamon v + 277 pp price £21 This is advertised as the first in a series of volumes sponsored by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency. There are four sections in the book, dealing in turn with the basic physics of the fission process, fission cross section requirements for the nuclear energy programme, measurements of fission cross sections and theoretical methods for calculating the cross sections of fissionable nuclei.
