Nowadays radioactive waste (RW) are being buried in geologic rocks. There is an alternative method of waste disposal. It is a transmutation of radioactive isotopes into stable ones by nuclear reactions with the use of accelerators with a particle energy of 50-1000 MeV. We have shown that neutrons fr...
