Re: Why Hafnium?



It was interesting to then find that several
consecutive stable isotopes of Hafnium have a fairly high cross section
for neutron capture.

Question: Why is Hafnium used instead of Cadmium?

Tom Walkiewicz

Perhaps with the several stable isotopes, it captures several times
as many neutrons before it goes bad.
