Abstract

The characteristic neutron spectrum parameters for thermal neutron activation analysis have been determined for the most important irradiation positions of the reactors BR1 and BR2 at Mol (Belgium), HFR at Petten (Netherlands) and FRJ2 at Jülich (Federal Republic of Germany). The method of determination is described.
