We present an analysis of fission Household Supplies induced by intermediate energy protons or photons on actinides.The 660 MeV proton induced reactions are on 241Am, 238U, and 237Np targets and the Bremmstrahlung-photons with end-point energies at 50 MeV and 3500 MeV are on 232Th and 238U targets.The study was performed by means of the Monte Carlo
