Abstract

The burning of radioactive waste is investigated. Targets from 241Am and 237Np were irradiated with 0.66-GEV proton beams. The cross sections for the formation of 60 and 80 residual nuclei from 237Np and 241Am are determined. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical cross sections calculated by the cascade-evaporation model.
