natCu and natV samples were irradiated several times with quasi-monoenergetic neutrons from the p+7Li reaction in the energy range of 18–35 MeV. The activities of the samples were measured with the HPGe detector and the reaction rates were calculated. Time-of-flight measurements of the produced neutron spectra and the measurements of the residual 7Be activity in the Li target were performed to improve the knowledge of the neutron spectra. The cross-sections were extracted using the SAND-II procedure with the reference cross-sections from the EAF-2010 database. The uncertainties of the final results are discussed.
