Abstract
Nuclear transmutation emerges as a promising approach for reprocessing high-level waste, specifically treating long-lived nuclides like 93Zr from spent fuel. It is essential to accumulate reaction data for these nuclei to advance this prominent treatment and to build a comprehensive understanding of reaction mechanisms. In this study, the residual production cross sections resulting from proton-induced reactions on 93Zr were measured at 27 MeV/nucleon in inverse kinematics. At the RI Beam Factory (RIBF) the OEDO beamline was used to deduce production cross sections for isotopes, 91 − 93Nb, 91, 92Zr, and 88, 89Y. Comparing the results from this study and prior research with calculated excitation functions, a moderate agreement is found with theoretical predictions derived from TALYS and CCONE. The measured cross sections offer valuable insights for future considerations in nuclear-waste treatment facilities. This is particularly relevant for facilities exploring innovative methods, such as accelerator-driven systems.
