    Energy and space distributions of spallation neutrons (from 2.5 and 3.57 GeV/c CERN proton beams) slowing down in a 3.3 X 3.3 X 3 m(3) lead volume and neutron capture rates on long-lived fission fragments Tc-99 and I-129 demonstrate that Adiabatic Resonance Crossing (ARC) can be used to eliminate efficiently such nuclear waste and validate innovative simulation.
