The activities and results of research related to accelerator production of Pa and Th isotopes via bombardment of 230Th and 232Th targets are described herein. This research was supported through DOE grant DE-SC0020140 and was conducted in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Cross section measurements, transport model and nuclear physics model calculations are presented. Highlights include the first ever measurements of 229Pa, two publications, and graduation of a PhD student.
