The following URL is pretty good. It is a chart of the nuclides (useful for neutron induced isotope tracking).

Also, near the bottom of the page is a handy automatic plotter for nuclear cross sections. It can be daunting to use for those not familiar with the lingo, but I just used it to plot the x-section for Gadolinium. (I have some foil)
I just typed in Gd-157=1 for the plot of the neutron cross section generator. I left the thing open for its natural defaults.
The result was a nice plot for neutrons from a hellish 10mev to a freezing cold .00001ev. Gadolinium is a real neut stopper with a cross section of 40,000 barns for simple thermals to 10 million barns for cold neuts. Compare this to the mere milibarns for D2!
