Nuclear transmutation linear accelerators

Steinberg, M., Takahashi, H., Ludewig, H., Powell, J. (1977). Linear accelerator fission product transmuter. Paper for American Nuclear Society meeting. New York, 17 pp. 

With linear accelerators or cyclotrons, all sorts of nuclear transmutations can be achieved. In this way, scientists have made nuclides that don t normally exist in nature. For example, uranium-238 can be made to collide with carbon-12 to form an element with atomic number 98 ...
