A measurement of the Os-187 inelastic neutron cross section to the 3/2(-) 9.75 keV excited state with 34 + or - 2 keV incident neutrons gives 1.5 + or - 0.2 barns. Pulsed neutron time of flight and a short anisotropic iron-aluminum filter allowed separation of the inelastic yield from the 1/2(-) ground-state elastic yield at 24 keV. The influence of the result on r-process galactic age calculations via the Re-Os decay chronometer is discussed, and the need for further theoretical calculations is emphasized.
