Abstract
In order to understand quantitatively the transmutation of minor actinides in irradiation location, the nuclear data of uranium, neptunium, plutonium, americium and curium nuclides have been measured by radiochemical method: Several samples of the actinide nuclides irradiated in thermal and fast neutron reactors have been analyzed to determine the contents of actinides and fission products. Yields of the fission products in proton-induced fission of the minor actinides have been also measured by using a tandem accelerator. From the viewpoint of nuclear waste management, the transmutation process of the actinides in irradiation field is discussed quantitatively in this paper.
