The measurements reported are those of the special distribution of thermal neutrons in typical lattice cells of slightly enriched uranium rod-ordinary water assemblies. Flux traverses were made both with pure water and boron poisoned water for the moderator. The detectors used were small foils of dysprosium oxide dispersed in lucite or polyethelene.
