THE CADMIUM CROSS SECTION AFTER BURNOUT OF CADMIUM$sup 11$$sup 3$

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4840248

Cadmium, in the form of CdO powder has been irradiated to such an extent that the Cd-113 with its extremely high cross section is present in its equilibrium amount, kept in equilibrium by the formation of Cd-113 from neutron capture in Cd-112, and by destruction, again by neutron capture. The cadmium cross section, averaged over all the isotopes remaining at this irradiation, was found to equal 1.22 plus or minus 0.06 barns per atom of cadmium. (auth)
