Gamma-ray spectra have been measured for 1- and 2-MeV neutron interactions with ²³⁵U and ²³⁹Pu and for 5- and 8-MeV neutron interactions with ²³⁵U using a time-of-flight technique and an anti-Compton spectrometer. Gamma-ray production cross sections are determined and compared with previous measurements.
