In this study, cross section of ²³⁵U(d,n)²³⁸Np, ²³⁵U(d,2n)²³⁵Np , ²³⁵U(d,3n)²³⁴Np , ²³⁸U(d,2n)²³⁸Np and ²³⁸U(d,4n)²³⁶Np reactions are calculated by using TALYS 1.6 computer code in the energy range from 5 to 35 MeV. In the calculations, 3 microscopic (level density model based on Goriely Skyrme HFB, Hilaire combinatorial level density model based on Skyrme HFB, level density model based on temperature dependent Gogny HFB) 3 macroscopic (back-shifted Fermi gas model, constant temperature model, generalized superfluid model) level density models are used as an optional inputs and their effects on the reaction cross section are investigated. Theoretical predictions are compared with the experimental data taken from EXFOR library.
