Abstract
THE chemical effects following radioactive neutron capture and isomeric transition of the nuclei of bromine atoms in bromates have been studied by a number of investigators1. The present communication describes our investigation of the chemical distribution of radioactive bromine atoms arising from 79Br(n,2n)78Br and 79Br(n, γ)80 Br reactions in crystalline sodium bromate. The effects of the irradiation and dissolution temperatures were investigated and the recoil effects of both nuclear reactions were compared.
