Original Abstract

Preliminary results of the ˇrst experiment with deuteron beam with energy 2.52 GeV at theelectronuclear setup which consists of Pb-target (diameter 8.4 cm, length 45.6 cm) andnatU-blanket (206.4 kg), transmutation samples of129I,237Np,238Pu and239Pu (radioecologicalaspect) are described. Hermetically sealed samples in notable amounts are gathered in atomicreactors and setups of industries which use nuclear materials and nuclear technologies wereirradiated in the ˇeld of neutrons produced in the Pb-target and propagated in thenatU-blanket.Estimates of transmutations were obtained as result of measurements of gamma activities ofthe samples. The information about the space and energy distribution of neutrons in thevolume of the lead target and the uranium blanket was obtained with help of sets of activationthreshold detectors (Al, Co, Y, I, Au, Bi and others), solid-state nuclear track detectors,3Heneutron detectors and nuclear emulsion. Comparison of the experimental data with the resultsof simulation with the MCNPX program was performed.
