In the (n, gamma ) reaction in crystalline dibenzene chromium (0) the retention is 11.8%. This value increases to 19.4% if the irradiated sample is sublimated or if it is heated for about 30 minutes to 110 deg C. It is shown. that the increase of the retention by annealing is not caused only by a reaction of electrons on the skeleton of dibenzene chromium. Besides this, benzene, added as a solvent, cannot replace the recombination-components of Cr/sup 51/ in the post irradiation process. From these facts and from the independence of the annealing effect of the irradiation dose it can be concluded, that the mechanism of the fast annealing is not a recombination of separated fragments, but takes place between reaction components, which are correlated from the very beginning.
