[en] We discuss the technique used in cluster radioactivity experiments and present our results. We have measured the decay modes of ²³² U and found that in 1950's the exotic emission of ²⁴ Ne from ²³² U was misinterpreted as spontaneous fission. We have revised rates previously reported for Ne radioactivity of ²³² U, ²³⁴ U and ²³⁵ U. We have studied nuclear structure implications in the exotic decay of odd-A nuclei such as ²³³ U, ²³⁵ Ac and ²³¹ Pa and, in the latter case, we have found for the first time emission of an odd-Z cluster, ²³ F. We have investigated the exotic decay of ²²⁸ Th via oxygen emission. We try to understand analogies and differences between α-decay and cluster decay of odd-A nuclei. (Author)
