N2 - © 2015, Allerton Press, Inc. Experimental approaches to finding neutron-only nuclei are considered. Yet another way of detecting such nuclei is proposed: making precise measurements of the ratio between the fission cross sections of two nuclei, threshold and nonthreshold, in two neutron fluxes. One flux is assumed to contain multineutrons while the other does not. The simplicity of the method, its limiting sensitivity, and its basic advantages are discussed. Existing equipment that can be used to conduct new experiments is listed.
