Abstract
IN the course of a study of neutron–proton reactions in the Harwell pile, we have irradiated nickel metal both in the ordinary irradiation facilities and in a hollow uranium bar. In this bar the energies of the fast neutrons available approximate to the spectrum of fission-neutron energies.
