It is shown that the fission effect which occurs when thorium is irradiated with slow neutrons is in fact due to fission of Th/sup 232/ by thermal neutrons. The fission cross section is (0.06 plus or minus 0.02) mb. The results obtained are compared with available experimental data relating to fission of even-even nuclei by thermal neutrons. (auth)
