The number of 14802001 13 fissions per second from a known amount of uranium in 14802001 14 a second detection chamber was then determined under 14802001 15 the same geometrical conditions. The ratio of the 14802001 16 initial number of delayed neutrons per second to the 14802001 17 total number of fissions per second produced in the 14802001 18 plaque was thus found to be 1:60. Measurements with 14802001 19 and without cadmium and boron around the uranium 14802001 20 during irradiation showed that under these conditions 14802001 21 the effect is produced primarily by slow neutrons and 14802001 22 approximately follows the 1/v law. 14802001 23 HISTORY (20230105C) BP 14802001 24 ENDBIB 22 0 14802001 25 COMMON 1 3 14802001 26 EN-DUMMY 14802001 27 EV 14802001 28 0.0253 14802001 29 ENDCOMMON 3 0 14802001 30 ENDSUBENT 29 0 1480200199999 SUBENT 14802002 20230105 150514802002 1 BIB 2 3 14802002 2 REACTION (92-U-0(N,F),DL,NU) 14802002 3 STATUS (TABLE,,E.T.Booth+,J,PR,55,876(1),1939) 14802002 4 page 876 of J,PR,55,876,1939. 14802002 5 ENDBIB 3 0 14802002 6 NOCOMMON 0 0 14802002 7 DATA 1 1 14802002 8 DATA 14802002 9 PRT/FIS 14802002 10 0.016 14802002 11 ENDDATA 3 0 14802002 12 ENDSUBENT 11 0 1480200299999 ENDENTRY 2 0 1480299999999
