Abstract
IN his paper "Mechanism of Nuclear Fission", Bohr1 has explained the emission of delayed neutrons from certain members of the fission chains as due to the product being in a sufficiently highly excited state after the emission of β-particles. Of the other possibilities, production of delayed neutrons by (γ, n) reaction by the γ-rays after a β-disintegration, following Bohr, can be excluded simply because of the absence of sufficiently energetic γ-rays in fission chains reported in the Plutonium Project Report2.
