Abstract: In 2010, it was pointed out that in nuclear photofission, a rigorous approach must be introduced in the thermodynamic analysis of nuclear photofission, and the first aim is to obtain a relation between the photofission excitation function, introduced in 1992, and some measurable nuclear quantities. An analysis of the photofission excitation function is developed and this function is related to the total photodisintegration cross-section of the free deuteron.

Keywords: nuclear thermodynamics; nuclear waste; photofission excitation; nuclear energy; nuclear power; nuclear photofissio; free deuteron.
