Abstract

⁸⁷Se and ⁸⁸Se are separated at short time intervals from ²³⁵U irradiated with thermal neutrons. Their half-lives were measured through the neutron activities of their bromine daughters as 5·9 ± 0·2 sec for ⁸⁷Se and 1·3 ± 0·3 sec for ⁸⁸Se fission yield was 0·65 ± 0·13 per cent. From a delayed neutron activity consistent with the ⁸⁷Se half-life and in constant ratio with the ⁸⁷Br activity, a P_n value of 0·23 ± 0·07 per cent was evaluated for ⁸⁷Se. Evidence was not conclusive as regards delayed neutron emission from ⁸⁸Se, for which an upper limit of P_n ≤ 1 per cent as estimated.
