Abstract

The235U/238U ratio is determined by neutron activation analysis counting the ϕ-rays of short half-lives fission products and239U. The effect of the neutron spectrum hardening using a6LiD converter is also demonstrated. The235U/238U ratio is determined using short irradiation, waiting and counting times.
