Recent calculations indicated that the age of fission neutrons is somewhat smaller for U233 than for U235. Because of the possible systematic errors associated with an absolute neutron age measurement in water, a relative measurement was adopted in which the second moments of the indium resonance activation flux from small converter disks of U233 and U235 were compared under identical experimental conditions. Results indicated that the age of U233 neutrons was less than that of U235 neutrons by 5 ± 3%.
