Wood, D E; Peterson, E G

The relaxation length for fast neutron in magnetite concrete heated to 200 deg C is 9.74 cm, compared to 9.52 cm after heating to 100 deg C, and 8.75 cm before heating. The largest change in relaxation length occurred as a result of heating to 100 deg C. It appears that at or below 100 deg C, the concrete loses more water than in subsequent heating steps. Attempts to confirm the water loss by weighing the slabs were not accurate enough to be conclusive, although definte weight losses occurred during each heating. (auth)
