“…In order to estimate the contribution of proton-and pion-induced fissions to the observed track densities, proton and pion fluxes in the MC-FFs were calculated [15]. The fission cross-section, for Nat U(p, f) was calculated using the best fit curve to the available experimental data as described by Prokofiev [21].…”

“…The beam energy was varied from 0.5 up to 7.4 GeV. Spatial neutron distributions around the target have been measured as well as calculated in every case by the LAHET code (Los Alamos) and the DCM (Dubna Cascade Model) developed in Dubna [5,6]. Typical examples of long-lived and highly radiotoxic nuclides that can be transmuted to short-lived or stable nuclei as 237 Np and 129 I were used in these experiments [6,7,8].…”

Transmutation, the procedure of transforming long-lived radioactive isotopes into stable or short-lived, was proposed for reducing the amount of radioactive waste resulting from technological applications of nuclear fission. The Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) provide the possibility to generate intense neutron spectrum yielding in an effective transmutation of unwanted isotopes. Such experiments are being carried out for the last 10 years in Synchrophasotron / Nuclotron accelerators at the Veksler-Baldin Laboratory of High Energies of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia. Thick Pb and Pb-U targets, surrounded by moderators, have been irradiated by protons in the energy range of 0.5-7.4 GeV. Neutron fluence measurements have been performed by different techniques of passive detectors (neutron activation detectors, solid state nuclear track detectors). Transmutation of 129 I, 237 Np, 239 Pu was studied. The results of these experiments are presented and discussed.
