Abstract
The burning of radioactive waste is investigated. Targets from 241Am and 237Np were irradiated with 0.66-GeV proton beams. The cross sections for the formation of 60 and 80 residual nuclei from 237Np and 241Am are determined. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical cross sections calculated by the cascade-evaporation model.

The present study was initiated by the prominent scientist and outstanding personality V.P. Dzhelepov. The preliminary results were reported by him at the JINR Scientific Council. This investigation is one of the last initiated by V.P. Dzhelepov with great enthusiasm, but his untimely death prevented him from seeing the final results. The death of V.P. Dzhelepov is an irreparable loss for Russian science and for all those who knew him and worked with him.
