This study examines the radiative capture of a neutron by Be using the Coulomb dissociation approach within the FRDWBA theory. We analyze the elastic Coulomb breakup of Be on a 
Pb target at 72 MeV/A to determine the photodisintegration cross section and radiative capture cross section. Utilizing the Maxwell-averaged velocity distribution, we calculate the resulting radiative neutron capture reaction rate for the Be(n,)Be reaction. Comparative analyses are conducted with experimental data, theoretical results from direct radiative capture methods, and transfer reaction calculations. Additionally, we contrast our findings with the existing Be(
,)
C reaction rate and conclude the dominance of neutron capture over capture by Be.
