[en] Targets of thorium nitrate tetrahydrate were pressed into discs of varying thickness, stacked, and irradiated with 14.8 MeV neutrons for 1 to 2 hr. Radiochemical analysis was performed on the dissolved samples for ⁹⁹Mo and ¹¹³Ag. The ratios of the equilibrium activities of these two fission produced nuclides were calculated which indicate a peak-to-valley representation of the fission process. It was found as the sample thickness increased the ratio of the ⁹⁹Mo/¹¹³Ag increased. Elastic scattering of the neutrons within the target materials appears to be the explanation for the observed change in the disappearance of the symmetric mode of fission of ²³²Th observed at the higher neutron energies. An estimation of the relative contributions of symmetric and asymmetric fission was made for the 14.8 MeV neutron induced fission of ²³²Th. (author)
