dc.description.abstract<p> An attempt was made to measure the yields of the stable cadmium isotopes produced in the thermal-neutron fission of 233U and 235U using a solid-source mass spectrometer. The results for 235U fission indicate that there is structure in the mass-yield curve for the region studied which takes the form of a depression around masses 112-114. The origin of this structure is discussed in terms of the various mechanisms which have been proposed to explain the nature of the mass distribution in the symmetric region.</p> <p> The 233U study was unsuccessful because of the experimental difficulties encountered, primarily the interference from terrestrial cadmium and the low recovery of the fission products. </p>en_US
