Abstract: We have formulated the empirical formula for bremsstrahlung cross section in actinides. This formula produces bremsstrahlung cross sections for electrons with energies from 1 keV to 10 GeV incident on atoms with atomic numbers Z = 89 to 103. This formula produces bremsstrahlung cross sections with simple inputs of energy of incident electron (T), energy of emitted bremsstrahlung photon and atomic number of the target.

Keywords: bremsstrahlung; electron.
