This paper presents experimental results of the study of the energy dependence of the cross section for the formation of /sup 236/PU in the reaction /sup 237/Np (n, 2n). Together with the results for neutron energies near 14 MeV, they present the possibility for describing this cross section in the entire energy interval of importance for fast reactors. The urgency of a theoretical study of the reaction examined here remains, taking into account the quantum characterisitics of the low-lying levels.
