The {gamma} rays from the neutron capture reaction by 90,94Zr were measured in an incident neutron energy region from 15 to 100 keV and at 550 keV. A neutron time-of-flight method was adopted with a 1.5-ns pulsed neutron source by the 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction and with a large anti-Compton NaI(Tl) spectrometer. A pulse-height weighting technique was applied to observed capture {gamma}-ray pulse-height spectra to derive capture yields. Using the standard capture cross sections of 197Au in ENDF/B-VI, the capture cross sections of 90, 94Zr were obtained with the errors from 6 to 8%. The present results were compared with previous measurements and the evaluations of JENDL-3.3 and ENDF/B-VI. The capture {gamma}-ray spectra of 90, 94Zr were obtained by unfolding the observed capture {gamma}-ray pulse-height spectra. The multiplicities of observed {gamma} rays were derived from the {gamma}-ray spectra.
