Abstract. A very accurate results for the energy spectra of the even-even nuclei have been obtained in a new more physical application of the dynamical symmetry: Sp(12,R) ⊃ U(6) ⊃ U(3) ⊗ U(2) ⊃ O(3) ⊗ (U(1) ⊗ U(1)) of the Interacting Vector Boson Model (IVBM). The description of odd-mass nuclei requires the introduction of fermion degrees of freedom, that we make through the total moment I = ln + sn for a single fermion n coupled to the angular momentum L of the states of the ground and octupole bands of the even-even core J = L + I. From an algebraic point of view, this can be presented as an extension of the dynamical symmetry group Sp(12,R) of the IVBM to the orthosymplectic group OSp(2Ω/12,R), which contains the direct product of SOF(2Ω) of the fermion degrees of freedom and the boson part SpB(12,R) describing the even-even system. The approach can be extended for the description of the spectra of odd-odd nuclei as well. The results are illustrated by the comparison of the theory with the experimental spectra of the ground and octupole bands ot the even-even nuclei 236U and 238Pu and the long collective bands build on them in the odd 237U and 239Pu.
