Abstract
In connection with the increasing usage of reference materials in INAA work, and with the continuing interest in this laboratory in rapid analyses via very short-lived induced activities, 13 biological and 8 environmental reference materials have been processed, under rapid analysis conditions, by the reactor-flux INAA Advance Prediction Computer Program. The results described show that a total of 33 induced (n, γ) activities of 26 elements are detectable in these 21 reference materials, in total analysis times ranging from 1.5 to 192 seconds.
