Measurement and resonance analysis of neutron transmissions through four samples of /sup 238/U

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5074895
Accurate total and partial cross sections for /sup 238/U are important for nuclear reactor design. In the resolved resonance region, energies below 4.0 keV, these cross sections are described in terms of individual resonance parameters of which the neutron widths in the 1.5 to 4.0 keV region from various workers appear discrepant. In order to determine these widths, (0.880 to 100.0 keV) neutron transmissions through 0.076, 0.254, 1.080, and 3.620 cm thick enriched /sup 238/U samples were measured, and (0.880 to 100.0 keV) range transmissions were analyzed.
