Abstract
The instrumental neutron activation analysis /INAA/ of tungsten in various steel samples has been done with a 2 Ci252Cf fission neutron source having an integrated neutron flux of ∼1010 ns−1 and measuring the γ-activity of187W on a 4 K multi-channel analyzer /MCA/ coupled to a high purity germanium /HPGe/ detector. The tungsten content of various steel samples was between 0.017 and 0.024%.
