Description
When I was working with measurements of β-delayed neutrons which are produced from some of fission products (e.g. ''8''7Br), 10''5 neutrons were observed and counted. The irradiated uranium concentrations were too small to give this huge number of neutrons from ''2''3''5U fission. An ISFP process suggested that ''2''l''0Po might be fissioned by anti-neutrinos that were produced in the reactor core. Neutrino has no charge and almost of zero rest mass, <30 eV. Hie particle was postulated in 1930 to solve both the problems of energy conservation and spin, and detected in 1953 through inverse β -processes. The interaction cross-section of neutrinos with matter is very small (∼ 10-''4''8 b). Operating reactors generate huge numbers of antineutrinos, ∼10''2''6/d from typical power reactor
