Measurements of 14-MeV neutron leakage multiplication in lead are performed by the total absorption method. A polyethylene sphere is used as the neutron moderator and total absorber. Results from a 235U fission chamber and a 6Li glass detector are analyzed. The measurements are 7% lower than ANISN calculations using ENDF/B-VI.
