Abstract	The neutron spectra, yields and energies of particles generated by a uranium electronuclear setup which is used now in Dubna for research on transmutation of various isotopes with a 1-2 GeV proton beam, are analyzed by means of mathematical modelling on the basis of a Monte Carlo code CASCADE. Influence of a space dispersion of the proton beam and its possible deviation from the center of a lead target is investigated. It is shown that the polyethylene radiation shielding that is being used now, does not protect the measuring room from neutrons and gamma-rays.
