Neutron induced reaction cross sections for (n,2n) and (n,3n) have been calculated in the energy range between 8 MeV and 26 MeV. Calculations were made for the target nuclei; 45Sc, 59Co, 89Y, 93Nb, 103Rh, 169Tm, 175Lu, 181Ta, 197Au, 209Bi. Calculated results were compared with the available data in EXFOR. Model calculations of present data indicated clearly that some reported data from measurements failed to separate (n,2n) and (n,3n) contributions.
