Abstract
Research relating to nuclear physics, astrophysics, and reactor technology was carried out. The nucleon-nuclear interaction was elucidated by demonstration of connection between the resonance structure revealed by high-energy-resolution neutron cross section measurements and the average nuclear potential. Measurements of the capture cross sections of the isotopes of osmium have made possible the most reliable estimate of the age of the chemical elements so far achieved. Finally, measurements were made of the /sup 238/U inelastic neutron scattering cross section near 82 keV (near the peak of the fast reactor neutron spectrum) and the capture cross sections of /sup 101/Ru, /sup 103/Rh and /sup 105/Pd isotopes, which, because of their high fission yields and large capture cross sections, are important poisons in fast reactors. This report is administrative in nature, and contains only isolated data.
