A test of  107 Pd transmutation with macroscopic quantities was conducted. Palladium is an essential material for industrial use and is one of the nuclides targeted for recycling from spent nuclear fuel. Reasonable nuclear reaction paths for  107 Pd and the cross-sections for proton- and deuteron-induced spallation in inverse kinematics have been investigated. However, a transmutation experiment using long-lived fission products (LLFPs) as the target would be required for an actual system. To effectively detect the reaction products of the  107 Pd + d reaction, we prepared a material with a  107 Pd-concentration of almost 100% by ion implantation. The implanted samples were irradiated for several days with deuterons produced by the AVF Ring Cyclotron at RIKEN RIBF. After cooling, gamma-ray measurements of the irradiated sample were conducted. These revealed  105 Ag and  106m Ag originating from the  107 Pd + d reaction. Furthermore,  105 Pd and  106 Pd produced from transmutation of  107 Pd were estimated using DCHAIN. The  107 Pd in the irradiated samples were measured by ICP-MS. The isotopic ratios  105 Pd/ 107 Pd and  106 Pd/ 107 Pd obtained from the experimental results are consistent with those obtained by calculation using PHITS. Furthermore, the  107 Pd transmutation using deuteron was verified.
