The national development of technology to transmute nuclear waste depends upon the generation of high-energy neutrons produced by proton spallation. Proton accelerators, such as LANSCE at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, are capable of producing 800 MeV protons. By bombarding a lead /bismuth target, each proton may generate up to 25 neutrons that can activate fission of transuranic isotopes. Students at UNLV have been involved in radiation transport calculations in collaboration with researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and at the Argonne National Laboratory.
