Abstract	The thermal cross sections and resonance integrals for neutron capture by ⁷⁴,⁷⁸,⁸⁰,⁸²Se were measured using the same procedure and equipment for all of the isotopes. Uncertainty and absence of accurate previous values for several isotopes introduces a need of measuring these parameters using similar techniques. This was done using OSU’s TRIGA reactor and four of its facilities: the fast pneumatic transfer facility, cadmium-lined in-core irradiation tube, G-ring in-core irradiation tube, and thermal column. These new measurements are made using high resolution detectors, improved parameter values and more consistent methods for each isotope, yielding more precise values than were made in past experiments.
