“…Mention should be made in this connection of the work by A. D. Galanin [16], P. P. Blagovolin [17]. H. Takahashi [28], L. de Sobrino [31], and also the authors of the present paper [15]. [32].…”

“…We had at our disposal the paper by V. I. Mostovoi et al [18], presented to the second Geneva Conference of 1958, and also the results of the latest researches of V. I. Mostovoi and his co-workers on neutron spectra in uranium-water lattices, reported to the Brookhaven Conference [33]. Calculations of the experiments by V. I. Mostovoi and his co-workers were undertaken by L. de Sobrinoand by M. Clark [31], and also by L. V.…”

“…The technique of poisoning a moderator in order to measure independently the diffusion coefficient and the absorption cross section has been used extensively on D2O (14,29), on graphite (30), and on H2O (11,23,31). Several authors have discussed the importance of "Diffusion…”
