The total neutron cross section of ²³²U has been measured from 0.01 to 10 000 eV using the Materials Testing Reactor (MTR) fast chopper. A 2200 m/sec total neutron cross section of 163 ± 10 b was determined. Multilevel parameters are listed for resonances below 30 eV. Results of the analysis indicate that two fission channels are needed to describe the experimental data.
