Simulation of a ~21 t depleted uranium target irradiated by 1…10 GeV proton and deuteron particles with the help of FLUKA simulation package was carried out. Neutron spectra and neutron flux in a target volume were obtained. Total number of 235U (n,f), 238U(n,f) reactions occurred in a target were determined. Beam particle power multiplication are calculated. The calculations were performed for the purpose of planning experiments on irradiation of a uranium target (22 tons of depleted uranium) at JINR (Dubna) within the framework of the international project “Energy and Transmutation of RAW”.
