Total neutron cross sections of the heavy and actinide nuclei /sup 181/Ta, /sup 197/Au, /sup 232/Th, /sup 233/U, /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U, /sup 239/Pu, and /sup 240/Pu were measured from 30 keV to 4.8 MeV. The objective of this work is to provide improved, accurate, and internally consistent total neutron cross-section data in the heavy-element and actinide region and to examine their systematics and nuclear model implications. 34 refs.
