Original Abstract

arget-blanket facility "Energy+Transmutation" was irradiated by proton beam extractedfrom the Nuclotron Accelerator in Laboratory of High Energies of Joint Institute for NuclearResearch in Dubna, Russia. Neutrons generated by the spallation reactions of 0.7, 1.0, 1.5 and2 GeV protons on lead target interact with subcritical uranium blanket. In the neutron fieldoutside the blanket radioactive iodine, neptunium, plutonium and americium samples wereirradiated and transmutation reaction yields (residual nuclei production yields) have beendetermined using methods of gamma-spectrometry. Neutron field's energy distribution has also been studied using a set of threshold detectors.
