Abstract
In various graphite piles, where one or two Ra-Be sources were producing a stationary neutron field, the neutron temperature was measured by activating an indium foil, sandwiched between two gold absorbers. The neutron temperature was found to be up to 70°C above the graphite temperature, which is explained by the incomplete thermal equilibrium.Keywords
