Abstract
The feasibility of the INAA of samples in the kg range has been demonstrated in 1994 byOverwater et al. In his studies, however, he demonstrated only the agreement between the “corrected” γ-ray spectrum of large samples and that of small samples of the same material. In this paper, thek 0-calibration of the IRI facilities for large samples is described, and some ofOverwater's results for homogeneous materials are presented again, this time in tems of (trace) element concentrations. It is concluded that large sample INAA can be as accurate as ordinary INAA.
