We discuss the importance of the 12C(d,n)13N mix diagnostics at NIF and show how this reaction can be used to determine the fraction of the 79Kr signal produced by knock-on deuterons in bromine doped CH ablator capsules. We point out that current cross section measurements are discrepant with one another, by about a factor of two. We propose a new method for measuring this cross section, including a technique for uncovering the possible source of the current discrepancy.
