Abstract

The thermal neutron induced fission cross-section of ²³²Th was measured at an intense and very pure thermal neutron beam of the Grenoble High Flux Reactor, yielding a value of (3 ± 1) μbarn. For control purposes, the same targets were used at the VandeGraaff accelerator of the CBNM (Geel), where a ²³²Th (n, f) cross-section value of (0.12 ± 0.02) barn was obtained with 2.44 MeV neutrons, in agreement with other published data.
