The effect of electron binding on the incoherent scattering of gamma rays in uranium in the energy region 320–1332 keV is studied using the total cross sections of Colgate [Phys. Rev.87, 593 (1952)] and Wyard [Phys. Rev.87, 165 (1952)]; total photoelectric cross sections of Rakavy and Ron [Phys. Letters19, 207 (1965)]; and coherent‐scattering cross sections based on Thomas—Fermi calculations [W. Brown, Boeing Co. Report D2–125137–1 (Dec. 1966)]. Combining these data, it is concluded that the effect of electron binding on the incoherent‐scattering cross section for uranium in the region 320–662 keV exceeds that predicted by the Thomas—Fermi model.
