FAST NEUTRON DATA ON THE ISOTOPES OF THORIUM, URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM

Wesley D. Allen, R. L. Henkel

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

A survey is presented of available information on the interaction of neutrons in the range 10 kev to 10 Mev with the isotopes of thorium, uranium and plutonium. Subjects discussed include total cross sections, elastic and inelastic scattering, (n,2n) reactions, capture and fission, including the variation with energy of nu , the average number of neutrons emitted per fission.
