Irradiation activity measurement of Np/sup 237/ clarified that Np/sup 238/ was formed as a consequence of neutron capture. The identification was carried out by tracing the decay and by BETA and gamma spectrometry. Gamma rays from fission products did not interfere with the measurements. Np/sup 238/ decays into Pu/sup 238/, so Pu/sup 238/ was isolated chemically from the target material after suitable cooling time, and its presence was confirmed by alpha spectrometry. (auth)
