Abstract

Activation technique was employed to determine the252Cf spectrum averaged cross section of the99Tc(n,n′)99mTc reaction. Two different γ-spectrometric methods were applied. One of the measurements was relative to that of the cross-section value of115In (n,n′)115mIn reaction, while the other one was absolute. The measured values are 179±49 mb and 195±43 mb for the relative and absolute measurement, respectively.
