A search for pulsed radiation at a frequency of 111 MHz in the direction of 116 RRAT candidates was carried out. For the search, archival data obtained on a meridian 128-beam radio telescope, a Large Phased Array (LPA), was used. For each candidate, about six days of observations were accumulated over an interval of eight years. Eleven new RRATs have been discovered. It was possible to estimate periods for six of them, and to construct average profiles for four of them. Some of the candidates turned out to be known pulsars observed in the side lobes of the radio telescope and interference. For the part of the candidates could not find pulses with a signal-to-noise ratio of more than seven, and their nature remains unknown.
