The natural uranium assembly, QUINTA, was irradiated with 6 GeV deuterons. The Th-232 samples were placed at the central axis of the setup QUINTA. The spectra of gamma rays emitted by the activated Th-232 samples have been analysed and more than one hundred nuclei produced have been identified. For each of those products, reaction rates have been determined. The ratio of the weight of produced U-233 to Th-232 is presented. Experimental results were compared with the results of Monte Carlo simulations by FLUKA code.
