Abstract :
The neutron induced reaction cross section of eleven stable isotopes of Platinum and Osmium i.e. 192Pt(n,α)189Os, 194Pt(n,α)191Os, 195Pt(n,α)192Os, 196Pt(n,α)193Os, 198Pt(n,α)195Os 184Os(n,α)181W, 187Os(n,α)184W, 188Os(n,α)185W, 189Os(n,α)186W, 190Os(n,α)187W and 192Os(n,α)189W have been calculated by using software TALYS 1.4 in the energy range between 13MeV to 15MeV. The present situation of (n, α) reaction cross section data for the energy region just below and above the 14MeV threshold region is important for reactor technology but as of now it is still extremely little and discrepant. Thus, the precise cross- sections of all kinds of nuclear reactions are very important and necessary. The result obtained has been compared with several experimental values taken from EXFOR data file and the updated evaluated data file of ROSFOND-2010, JEFF-3.2 and JENDL-4.0.
