SUMMARY
The discussion centers on obtaining reliable information regarding the thermal cross sections of substances such as boric acid, O2, uranium, and water. A key resource mentioned is the BNL Barn Book, which contains comprehensive plots of thermal cross sections for various elements and isotopes. The BNL Atlas, available at http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/atlas/, serves as a crucial online reference for this data. Users seeking detailed thermal cross section information should refer to these established resources for accurate and reliable data.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of thermal neutron cross sections
