Journal Article

· J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.
The mass-yield curve for the fission of Np/sup 237/ by 14.5 Mev neutrons was determined. An absolute yield of 4.94% for Mo/sup 99/ was measured and used to normalize the massyield curve. The shape of the curve is very similar to the U/sup 235/ and U/sup 238/ fission-yield curves with neutrons of the same energy. The chief difference is the smaller peak-to-trough ratio which for Np/sup 237/ is approxiraately 4.4. Brief details of the separation schemes and counting methods are given. (auth)
