The ground-state bands of $$^{236}$$Th,$$^{240,242}$$U, $$^{246}$$Pu and $$^{250}$$Cm were established by measuring deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays. These nuclei were produced by the ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{16}$$O) and ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{20}$$Ne) two-nucleon transfer reactions with $$^{238}$$U, $$^{244}$$Pu and $$^{248}$$Cm targets. The $$gamma$$ rays in residual nuclei were identified by taking coincidence with scattering particles using high-resolution Si $$Delta E$$-$$E$$ detectors. By extending the systematics of the 2$$_{1}^{+}$$ energies into neutron-rich nuclei, we have found that the $$N=152$$ deformed shell gap disappears at $$_{94}$$Pu isotopes and that U and Pu isotopes have the possibility of the spherical shell closure at $$N=164$$.
