Using a Nier-type mass spectrometer, the isotopic composition of chlorine gas obtained from natural potassium chloride has been measured to be 75.529 ± 0.016 atom per cent Cl35 and 24.471 ± 0.016 atom per cent Cl37, corresponding to a Cl35/Cl37 atom ratio of 3.0865 ± 0.0027. By comparison of this result with that for chlorine gas from potassium chloride irradiated for 14 months in a high flux position of the NRX reactor, the neutron capture cross-section of Cl36 has been determined to be 90 ± 25 barns. This value has been calculated on the assumption that only (n, γ) reactions were significant in changing the isotopic composition of the chlorine.

Capture Cross Sections

The neutron capture cross section of Sr89 has been measured by an activation method. Naturally occurring strontium was irradiated in different high flux positions in the NRX reactor at Chalk River and the amount of Sr90 formed by successive neutron capture in Sr88 was determined by separating and measuring its daughter Y90. Using values of 36.6 and 0.005 barns for the respective neutron capture cross sections of Co59 and Sr88, the capture cross section of Sr89 for reactor spectrum neutrons was found to be 0.49 ± 0.10 barn.

The thermal neutron capture cross sections of Na23 and Mn55 have been determined using the activation method. The values are 0.53 ± 0.03 and 12.7 ± 0.3 barns respectively with respect to σAul97 = 93 barns. These agree well with recent pile oscillator results. The half-life for Mn56 is found to be 2.576 ± 0.002 hr.
