Fission fragment properties for the reactions involving actinide target nuclei have been investigated at the JAEA tandem facility. The results showed firstly the appearance of new fission channels. The experimental data are useful for the theoretical study to produce super heavy elements. Also the new fission channels suggested the possible production of the neutron rich nuclei by taking advantage of the new fission channels.
