Abstract: Monte Carlo simulations with the CRISP code were conducted to study spallation and fission fragment distributions induced by intermediate- and high-energy protons and photons on actinide and pre-actinide nuclei. The model accounts for intranuclear cascade, pre-equilibrium, and evaporation-fission competition, enabling consistent treatment of both residues and fission products. Comparisons with experimental data show good agreement in mass and charge distributions, with minor deviations for light fragments. The results highlight the reliability of Monte Carlo approaches for predicting residual nuclei and fragment yields under accelerator-driven system (ADS) conditions. This work provides nuclear data relevant to ADS design, safety, and transmutation analysis
