Abstract

The thermal neutron induced fission cross section of ²³²Th was measured using the highly pure thermal neutron beam from the 87 m curved neutron guide at the High Flux Reactor of the ILL (Grenoble). An upper limit of 4 μb was obtained for the fission cross section, which is an order of magnitude smaller than previous results. This result is discussed in terms of the double-humped fission barrier theory.
