on <strong>the</strong> incident particle kinetic energy and<br />
nucleonic composition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fissioning systems.<br />
Characteristic regularities were revealed in<br />
<strong>the</strong> behaviour <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fission modes, and <strong>the</strong>se<br />
phenomena were used to develop new systematics<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> pre- and post-neutron emission fragment<br />
mass yields from Th to Bk target nuclei in reactions<br />
with protons and neutrons at kinetic energies<br />
ranging from 5 to 200 MeV. These systematics have<br />
been used to <strong>for</strong>mulate <strong>the</strong> PYF computer code.<br />
This approach reproduces <strong>the</strong> main features <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
experimental data and can be used as a basis <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
calculation <strong>of</strong> fission product yields in reactions<br />
with neutrons over <strong>the</strong> energy range 5–200 MeV <strong>of</strong><br />
interest <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> transmutation <strong>of</strong> minor actinides.<br />
