Abstract: The 229Ra has been produced in the 232Th(n,a)229Ra reaction by 14MeV neutron irradiation of natural Thorium. The 229Ra activities were separated from irradiated target material by radiochemical separation technique. 18 new γ rays with energies 14.5,15.6,18.8,21.8,22.5,44.0,47.5,55.0,63.0,69.6,93.6,94.1,98.5,102.2,104.5,106.1,161.171.5keV attributed to the 229Ac were observed for the first time by usin γ(X) spectroscopic methods. A partial decay scheme of 229Ra was proposed.
