Abstract
The thermal neutron induced fission cross section of 243Am has been measured using a very intense, very clean thermal neutron beam at the Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble. Great care has been taken to ensure the purity of the sample material. As a result of these measurements, a value of (74 ± 4) mb has been obtained for the 243Am(nth, f) cross section.Keywords
