Abstract The Westcott g-factors, which allow the user to determine reaction rates for nuclear reactions taking place at various temperatures, have been calculated using data from the Evaluated Neutron Nuclear Data Library, ENDF/B-VI. Nuclides chosen have g-factors which are significantly different from unity and result in different reaction rates compared to nuclides whose neutron capture cross section varies as the reciprocal of the neutron velocity. Values are presented as a function of temperature up to 673.16 K (400 °C).
