This work is an extension of the shape measurement of the {sup 10}B(n,{alpha}{sub 1}{gamma}){sup 7}Li reaction from 200 keV to 4 MeV reported previously. To obtain absolute values that measurement was normalized to the ENDF/B-VI evaluation in the 200 keV to 1 MeV neutron energy region. This experiment was undertaken to extend the neutron energy range to lower energies and thus enable the relative cross section to be normalized to ENDF/B-VI at 10 keV where the cross section is better known. The results of this experiment show a deviation from the shape of the cross section as given in the ENDF/B-VI evaluation by 5% in the region from 100 keV to 300 keV but good agreement with ENDF/B-VI from 200 keV to 1 MeV.
