In order to experimentally determine cross section of thermal-neutron capture reaction byTc, the following studies have been performed: (1) Measurement of the cross section using an activation method in which rays inRu were observed, (2) Measurement of emission probabilities of rays inRu, and (3) Measurement of the Cross section from yields of the prompt rays emitted in the reaction. In this presentation, details of these studies will be reviewed, and the obtained results will be compared to others. Possible improvements of the experimental methods will also be presented.
