Independent yields of 124Sb, 126Sb and 136Cs in 14·8-MeV neutron-induced fission of thorium and uranium

Cumulative yields in the 14 MeV neutron fission of 232Th and 238U in the symmetric region

“…The data on the independent yields of isobaric chains in 14 MeV neutron fission of 232Th and 238U are limited to some shielded nuclides. Recently, Rao et al (34) have suggested that the experimentally determined yields, Y,, of the shielded iluclides lZ4Sb, IZ6Sb, and 136Cs give a better fit with the Gaussian curve (38). The inass yields as calculated from the experimentally determined chain yields, and from the Gaussian curve using the calculated Z, values from the hypothesis and c = 1.7, will have uncertainties of no more than 0.5 "/;: except for mass llumbers between 125 and 129.…”
