Abstract
The yield of U/sup 237/ with 26.7 Mev deuterons on metallic natural uranium foils (104 mg/cm/sup 2/) was measured. The reaction Al/sup 27/(d, alpha p)Na/sup 21/ was used as beam monitor, the charge input being calculated from Na/ sup 24/ cross section values given by Lenk and Slobodrian. Absolute beta activities due to Na/sup 24/ and U/sup 237/ were measured in a 4 pi proportional counter. Radiochemical purity of U/sup 237/ established from half life and gamma spectrometry measurements. The yield of U/sup 237/ was found to be 9.7 plus or minus 1.4 mu curies/ mu amphr. (auth)
