Iron is one of the most important structural materials in every field of science, technology, industry, etc. Its application in a radiating environment requires the knowledge of accurate excitation functions for the possible reactions in question. By using the Thin Layer Activation technique (TLA) the knowledge of such data is also extremely important even in the case of relative measurements to design the irradiation (irradiation energy, beam intensity, duration) and also for radioactive safety estimations. The cross sections are frequently measured at low energies but there are unsatisfactory and unreliable data in the energy range above 40 MeV.
