This summary provides a brief list of capture cross section metrics for naturally occurring isotopes for review by the Intentional Forensics Venture. This introduction is a companion to the column tabulated data, available in pdf and spreadsheet form. Cross section values for this summary list are taken from ENDF/B-VIII.0 and the development library for ENDF/B-VIII.1, with abundances taken from Nuclear Wallet Cards abundance tables. The cross section metrics are thermal cross section, resonance integral (RI), Maxwellian averaged cross section at 30 keV, and 252Cf spontaneous fission spectrum averaged cross section. The isotopes are listed in order of Z, then A, with the elemental symbol also reported. This memo gives a brief introduction and overview of the data presented.
