The gamma-ray dose rate and the fast neutron flux have been measured in air from a source of water shortly after irradiation in the Materials Testing Reactor. Gamma rays from N/sup 16/ and neutrons from N/sup 17/ have been detected. From the measurements and the known geometry, the cross sections for the O/sup 16/ (n,p)N/sup 16/ and the O/sup 17/(n,p)N/sup 17/ reactions averaged over the fission neutron spectrum have been deduced to be 0.019 mb and 0.0052 mb, respectively. The results are compared with other measured values and theoretical estimates. (auth)
