Measurements of states excited by nuclear resonance fluorescence in {sup 237}Np were performed using a bremsstrahlung beam. Fifteen new states were observed in the region of 1.7 to 2.5 MeV. They can be used to detect or assay {sup 237}Np nondestructively for applications in security and safeguards. The states are populated with similar strength as those states found previously in {sup 235}U and {sup 239}Pu but are spread out more in energy.
