General Comments:

235U(3He,p3n) E=20-42 MeV. Measured cross sections (2015Aa02).

233U(p,3n) E=17-40 MeV. Measured cross sections (2005Aa02).

238U(p,5n), 232Th(7Li,5n) E=30-46 MeV. Measured fission excitation functions, fission fragment mass yields (1999Zh41).

  0.0(0+) 4.4 d 1 
% ε = 100
%α<0.01: not observed (no 4.4-d α activity and no 230Pa growth in 234Np was observed (1949Hy04)).
E(level): %α<0.01: not observed (no 4.4-d α activity and no 230Pa growth in 234Np was observed (1949Hy04)).
  0.0+X   Possible configuration is Jπ=1-: π5/2[523], ν3/2[631] (or π5/2[642], ν3/2[631]) based on deduction from the 238Am α decay.
E(level): Possible configuration is Jπ=1-: π5/2[523], ν3/2[631] (or π5/2[642], ν3/2[631]) based on deduction from the 238Am α decay.
