OSTI ID:4070094
Some of the published threshold cross section data from nine sources are tabulated for six fast neutron reactions of the type (n,p) and (n, alpha ). After adjustment to a value of 60 mb for the S3/sup 32/(n,p) reaction, the data show good agreement with each other with approximately 10% standand deviation, three sources being excepted. The following fast reactor cross sections are given as the most probable values: S/sup 32/ (n,p), 60 mb (assumed); P/sup 31/(n,p), 31 mb; Al/sup 27/(n, alpha ), 0.56 mb; Ni/sup 58/(n,p), 105 mb; Fe/sup 54/(n,p), 47 mb; and Fe/sup 56/(n,p), 0.87 mb.
