The total cross sections of the 16 O(n, γ) 17 O radiative capture process is described in the framework of the modified potential cluster model with the classification of orbital states according to Young tableaux. The possibility to describe the experimental data for the total cross sections of the neutron radiative capture on 16 O at the energies from 0.025 eV to 1.5 MeV is shown on the basis of E1 and M1 processes. The transitions to the bound states of 17 O in the n 16 O channel from 2 S 1/2 , 2 Р 3/2 and 2 D 3/2 waves of the n 16 O scattering have been considered. These transitions have been considered in the resonance energy region at 433 and 1000 keV.PACS numbers: 21.60.
