Abstract

Using vanadium as the activable element, an indirect cyclic neutron activation technique for determination of boron in aqueous solutions has been developed. Experimental arrangement consisted of a 5 Ci Pu−Be based neutron irradiator and a 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm NaI/Tl/ detector. Recycling of vanadium between the irradiation source and the detector produced improved detection limit and sensitivity.
