The (n, 2n) cross- section for 23Na have been measured by the activation method in the energy range of En = 13.3-18.5 MeV. Monoenergetic neutrons were obtained from T(d,n) 4He reaction at Ed = 2.3 MeV. The induced specific activities were detected by a coincidence counting setup. For comparison, the other measured, evaluated and calculated data from En = 12-20 MeV are also given.
