Abstract
A VARIETY of observations made in recent years lead to the conclusion that the fate of the fragments generated in crystalline solids by radiative thermal neutron capture is determined, in part, by the density, and possibly the nature, of the defects in the crystals1. It has also been suggested that the annealing reactions which can be carried out after the neutron irradiation by heating or photon irradiation also involve these defects2.
