Abstract: β-delayed fission for 230Ac was searched. 230Ra was produced via multinucleon transfer reaction by 60MeV/u 18O ion irradiation of 232Th target. Thin 230Ra→β-230Ac sources of 108 atoms were acquired through radiochemical separations. The mica track detectors were used to record the fission events. The β-delayed fission nucleus 230Ac was identified via the observed two fission events and the measured γ-ray spectra. Its β-delayed fission probability was obtained to be (1.19±0.85)×10-8.
