Abstract

Mass spectrometric analyses show the presence of curium-246 and curium-247 in curium samples produced from neutron-irradiated plutonium. The pile-neutron capture cross sections of Am²⁴³, Cm²⁴⁴, Cm²⁴⁵, Cm²⁴⁶ are 115±20, 25±10, 200±100, and 15±10 barns, respectively. The alpha-disintegration half-life of Cm²⁴⁴ is calculated to be 19.2±0.6 years.
