Nuclear Fission and Neutron-Induced Fission Cross-Sections is the first volume in a series on Neutron Physics and Nuclear Data in Science and Technology. This volume serves the purpose of providing a thorough description of the many facets of neutron physics in different fields of nuclear applications. This book also attempts to bridge the communication gap between experts involved in the experimental and theoretical studies of nuclear properties and those involved in the technological applications of nuclear data. This publication will be invaluable to those interested in studying nuclear fission and neutron-induced fission cross-sections, as well as other relevant concepts.

Excerpt from Nuclear Cross Sections for Technology: Proceedings of the International Conference on Nuclear Cross Sections for Technology, Held at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tn, October 22-26, 1979 These are the proceedings of the Inter national Conference on Nuclear Cross Sections for Technology held at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, October 22-26, 1979 This was the fifth such conference held in the United States. The first three, however, were entitled Neutron Cross Sections and Technology and-were not intended to be international, although there was sizable international attendance, particularly for the later conferences. The 1975 conference on Nuclear Cross Sections and Technology became international and was co-sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics This 1975 conference brought out a number of serious discrepancies in nuclear data and made experimental nuclear physicists aware of some of the critical needs for cross sections for the fission and fusion programs as well as the cross section needs for radiotherapy. Basil Rose from aere, Harwell, who took an active role in the 1975 conference, suggested that these conferences be held annually but With the location interchanged between Western Europe, and America on a 3 - year cycle. In April 1977 the Soviets held their Fourth National Soviet Conference on Neutron Physics in Kiev, In 1978 the Nuclear Energy Agency, Paris, Rrance and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Harwell, England held the conference at Harwell September 25-29, 1978. This International Conference on Neutron Physics and Nuclear Data for Reactor and Other Applied Purposes was with the coopera tion of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
