In this paper, we report a comprehensive study of $$^{17}$$O nuclear spin-lattice relaxation in NpO$$_2$$ for a wide range of fields and temperatures. In both the paramagnetic and ordered-state regions, a strong, field-dependent $$^{237}$$Np -$$^{17}$$O nuclei cross-relaxation process is observed in addition to the expected background rate. The cross relaxation process, driven by the $$^{237}$$Np spins, is conveyed to the $$^{17}$$O via a greatly enhanced indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling which is described and reported here for the first time. The magnitude and temperature dependence of the indirect coupling are in reasonable accord with a simple theoretical model. The magnitude and temperature dependence of the $$^{237}$$Np $$T_1$$ process are also deduced from the data obtained.
