Abstract

For nuclear transmutation of minor actinides, delayed neutron emission measurement for241Am was carried out in thermal neutron irradiation location. The neutron capture cross sections of241Am were also measured radiochemically. The transmutation process of241Am in reactor is discussed by calculating the yields of minor actinides with the nuclear data measured in this study and the evaluated values. The accelerator driven transmutation of minor actinides by high-flux neutrons from spallation reactions is also presented.
