The increasing interest in using 236Pu and 237Pu as plutonium tracers has stimulated the search for nuclear reactions for the effective production of these radionuclides. The nuclear reactions 237Np(p,2n)236Pu, 237Np(p,pn)236mNp →β-236Pu and 237Np(p,n)237Pu were investigated in the proton-energy range 15-40 MeV using the K-130 cyclotron of the University of Jyväskylä and the MGC-20 cyclotron of Åbo Akademi University. The cross sections for these reactions were experimentally derived. Thick-target yields based on the cross sections were calculated. The results are discussed and compared with data previously obtained from other reactions leading to the same end products.
