Mr. Hofmeyr,

You are correct, it is 100 neutrons captured by/in a specific element and 
it was a typo for Nickle.  Table should read:

Fe - 7631 keV at 28.5 photons/100 neutrons
        7645 keV at 24.1 photons/100 neutrons

Ni -  8998 keV at 37.7 photons/100 neutrons

Cr -  8887 keV at 27 photons/100 neutrons
