Abstract
Informations on the 93Nb(n, 2tn)92Nb reaction at 14·6 MeV have been obtained from measurements of neutron emission spectra and its analysis taking into account the compound nucleus emission and emission during the precompound phase of the reaction. The result is a value of ≈ 1200 mb for σn, 2n confirming recent analysis that the activation cross-section of ≈ 450 mb should be considerably increased with important consequences for design of fusion reactor blankets, where Nb is a preferred material.
