Abstract

The yield of Cs¹³⁸ in thermal neutron fission of U²³⁵ has been investigated using the 4π counting technique. The value obtained for the fission yield is (7.22 ± 0.29)% based on a value of 6.32% for the fission yield of Ba¹⁴⁰. The half-life of Cs¹³⁸ was determined and found to be 32.2 ± 0.1 min.
