Abstract

In this paper, the nature of the instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) Advance Prediction Computer Program (APCP) is described, as well as its purposes, capabilities, and the wealth of valuable output information it provides. Recent and present extensive applications of the APCP to both reactor-flux and isotopic-source INAA of a great variety of biological, environmental, and geochemical reference materials are summarized. Other completed forms of the APCP that also include fission-spectrum and 14 MeV fast-neutron products are mentioned, as well as a recently completed form of the APCP for high-intensity reactor pulses, and present efforts to develop APCP's for cyclic INAA and prompt-gamma INAA are discussed.
