Abstract The article describes an apparatus for the investigation of the process of transient diffusion of neutrons in liquids at various temperatures, including temperatures above the boiling point up to 300 °C. The resulting experimental variation of the diffusion parameters of water with temperature in the interval 0.5–286 °C can be approximated by second-degree polynomials. The article considers the process of thermalization of neutrons in water by the Dardel method and compares the results with those obtained by other methods. The diffusion parameters are determined, and a preliminary estimate is given for the slowing-down time of neutrons in ice at the temperature of liquid nitrogen.
