A detailed experimental study on the kinetics of a 238U sphere is described. The measurements involve the use of nanosecond electronics and silicon solid-state detector with two fission conversion foils: 235U and 237Np. Thus, some information on the time-energy coupling was obtained. The results show a nonexponential behavior over all time ranges. At longer times, the space and time coupling was small. At early times, the coupling between energy space and time was strong. The early time behavior of the high-energy neutrons (above 237Np threshold) appears to be exponential. The decay constant, however, is a function of position. It is shown that this exponential behavior is a result of a “pseudo-trapping” of neutrons between the fast fission threshold in 237Np and the large step in the inelastic scattering cross section of 238U.
