Abstract: ^180mTa deexcitation and ^176mLu, ^113mIn and ^115mIn excitation cross-sections have been measured for the energy of electrons up to 3 MeV at the electron linear accelerator of Institute for Nuclear Research of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. For the first time ^180mTa deexcitation cross-section σ(^180mTa) = (9 ± 2) · 10^-30 см² and ^176mLu excitation cross-section σ(^176mLu) = (1.8 ± 0.3) · 10^-30 см² have been measured at the energy of electrons of 3 MeV.
