It is shown that at small energies (beginning from 1 kev) capture of neutrons with I = 1 play an appreciable role in the radiative capture of neutrons by heavy nuclei. Capture of neutrons with I = 1, 2, 3 predominates at energies 0.1 to 1 Mev. The optical model offers a satisfactory explanation of the experiments. In the absence of inelastic scattering the radiative capture cross section becomes constant at energies>0.3 Mev, and then increases somewhat as a result of increase of the level density. In the presence of scattering of neutrons with small values of I, the energy dependence of the radiative capture cross section is close to 1/E. (auth)
