Popis: An experiment on search for neutron nuclei in the reaction of neutron-induced fission of 235U nuclei has been performed on a nuclear reactor. The hypothetical reaction 122Te(xn, (x − k)n)122 + kTe → (β−) → 122 + kI (x = k ≥ 10) has been investigated. The radiochemical method for selecting iodine isotopes from tellurium was used. The upper limit on the probability of formation of neutron clusters has been obtained: Pk ≤ 10−8 (fission)−1 for 11n clusters and Pk ≤ 10−9 (fission)−1 for 11n clusters.
