Fission Product Yield Data for the Transmutation of Minor Actinide ...

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