✦ Synopsis

The emlsslon of fast neutrons by recoil protons (0 02-3 MeV energies) durmg the electrolysis of heavy water was studied experimentally usmg Iron, stamless steel, tltamum, titanium-vanadmm, platinum and palladmm cathodes Normal low-background measuring equipment was used (sensltlvity up to 3 x 10e4 Bq/mL) with a proportional methane counter, volume 4 L, pressure 2 x lo5 N/m2 which was calibrated with a californium source of 2 x lo7 n/s; the reglstratlon efficiency was 7%. StatIstIcal processmg of the results usmg the Student crlterlon failed to detect any neutron flux of more than 0 04 n/s from our various conditions of electrolysis with a reliability of 99 9%

By a large volume liquid scintillation detector and some other neutron and r-ray detectors the radiation obtained by the electrolysis of heavy water with a palladium cathode was measured. An indication is found for a weak generation of fast neutrons (0.1 s-l of about 2.5 MeV).
