Abstract
An Indo-Australian experiment is described in which relative conversion ratios for a range of U02 rod cluster fuel elements in a heavy water moderated reactor were measured using a high resolution Ge(Li) detector to measure directly the neptunium activity following neutron capture in 238U. The results are compared with calculations made with the UKAEA lattice code WIMS
