  The total cross sections of the 16O(n,gamma)17O radiative capture process is
described in the framework of the modified potential cluster model with the
classification of orbital states according to Young tableaux. The possibility
to describe the experimental data for the total cross sections of the neutron
radiative capture on 16O at the energies from 0.025 eV to 1.5 MeV is shown on
the basis of E1 and M1 processes. The transitions to the bound states of 17O in
the n16O channel from 2S1/2, 2P3/2 and 2D3/2 waves of the n16O scattering have
been considered. These transitions have been considered in the resonance energy
region at 433 and 1000 keV.
