The {sup 13}C({ital d},{ital n}) and {sup 14}C({ital d},{ital n}) cross sections have been measured for 0.2{le}{ital E}{sub c.m.}{le}2.1 MeV and 0.2{le}{ital E}{sub c.m.}{le}1.3 MeV, respectively, using a 4{pi} neutron detector. The cross sections are used to calculate the thermonuclear reaction rates for temperatures below 10 GK. The implications of these and other new nuclear-physics results for inhomogeneous primordial nucleosynthesis are discussed.
