New experiment for measuring the delayed neutron yields of<sup>238</sup>U fission in the range 1 MeV to 19 MeV Open
In nuclear reactors operating in nominal conditions, delayed neutrons (DN) drive the kinetic behavior of the neutron population. Predicting this behavior requires therefore the knowledge of the DN yield per fission, average lifetime, and k…
