Activation cross-sections for production of Mn-54, Co-55,Co-56,Co-57,Co-58 and Ni-56,Ni-57 radioisotopes in He-3-induced reactions on iron were measured from 14 MeV up to 26 MeV. Stacked foil irradiation method and high-resolution gamma-spectroscopy were used to produce and to detect the activation products. The new experimental data were compared with the results reported in literature. The
