Abstract

The thermal neutron-induced fission cross-section of ²³¹Pa was measured at an intense thermal neutron beam of the Grenoble high flux reactor. The ²³¹Pa (n_th,f) and ²³⁵U(n_th,f)-fragments were measured with surface barrier detectors. Relative to a thermal fission cross-section of 587.6 barn for ²³⁵U, a value of (20 ± 1) mbarn was obtained for the ²³¹Pa fission cross-section.
