A part of the excitation function of the /sup 232/Th(n,2n) reaction was determined by the foil activation method for neutron energies of 6.745, 6.938, 7.190, 7.448, 7.697, 7.944, 8.457, 8.975, 9.445, 9.934, and 10.450 MeV. Neutron flux density was measured using reactions /sup 238/U(n,f), /sup 56/Fe(n,p), and /sup 27/Al(n,..cap alpha..). Activity of the /sup 231/Th residual nuclei was determined by their low energy ..gamma.. transitions detected with a high purity Ge spectrometer. Results of this experiment are compared with renormalized literature data.
