Abstract

Neutron induced fission cross sections have been obtained for 26 actinide nuclei using (/sup 3/He,df) and (/sup 3/He,tf) reactions to determine fission probabilities and then multiplying these values by calculated compound nuclear neutron reaction cross sections. Comparison with existing (n,f) data shows this to be a feasible approach for obtaining reliable estimates for (n,f) cross sections where direct measurements are not possible. Theoretical developments in interpreting fission probability measurements are discussed. 8 figures, 1 table. (auth)

The fission cross sections of /sup 230/Th, /sup 232/Th, /sup 233/U, /sup 234/U, /sup 236/U, /sup 238/U, /sup 237/Np, /sup 239/Pu and /sup 242/Pu relative /sup 235/U at 14. 74 MeV neutron energy

Technical Report Meadows, J

The measurement of the fission cross section ratios of nine isotopes relative to /sup 235/U at an average neutron energy of 14.74 MeV is described with particular attention to the determination of corrections and to sources of error. The results are compared to ENDF/B-V and to other measurements of the past decade. The ratio of the neutron induced fission cross section for these isotopes to the fission cross section for /sup 235/U are: /sup 230/Th - 0.290 +- 1.9%; /sup 232/Th - 0.191 +- 1.9%; /sup 233/U - 1.132 +- 0.7%; /sup 234/U - 0.998 +- 1.0%; /sup 236/U -more »« less

Mass yield curves in low-energy proton-induced fission of sup 233 U, sup 235 U, sup 236 U, sup 237 Np, sup 239 Pu, sup 242 Pu, sup 244 Pu, sup 241 Am, and sup 243 Am

Journal Article Ohtsuki, T; Nagame, Y; Tsukada, K; ... - Physical Review, C (Nuclear Physics); (United States)

Mass yield curves in low-energy proton-induced fission of {sup 233}U, {sup 235}U, {sup 236}U, {sup 237}Np, {sup 239}Pu, {sup 242}Pu, {sup 244}Pu, {sup 241}Am, and {sup 243}Am were investigated in the energy range of 8--32 MeV. The gross features of mass yield curves were compared either at the same excitation energy or for the same charge of the compound nucleus with different neutron number. The results are briefly discussed in terms of (1) the weighted mean mass number of the light and heavy asymmetric peak, (2) the FWHM of the heavier asymmetric peak, and (3) the peak-to-valley ratio.

Technical Report Kalinin, S; Pankratov, V

The fast fission cross sections of Th/sup 232/, U/sup 233/, U/sup 235/, U/sup 230/, Np/sup 237/, and Pu/sup 239/ were measured in the 3 to 12 Mev energy interval. The neutron flux was measured by a proportional counter and by a scintillation counter using time-of-flight techniques. At neutron energies from 5 to 7 Mev all cross sections measured show a rise, the relative magnitude of which is greater the less the cross section in the region from 3 to 5 Mev. (auth)

The absolute fission yields of 46 fission products in {sup 238}U (99.9997 at.%), 46 fission products in {sup 237}Np, 27 fission products in {sup 238}Pu (99.21 at.%), 30 fission products in {sup 240}Pu (99.48 at.%), 30 fission products in {sup 243}Am (99.998 at.%), and 32 fission products in {sup 244}Cm (99.43 at.%) induced by fast neutrons were determined using a fission track-etch-cum-gamma spectrometric technique.
