Abstract

14-MeV neutron activation has been used for the determination of F, Al, Si, P, K, Mn, Mo and W in minerals and steel. Most of these elements have been estimated simultaneously through gamma-ray spectrometry. The evaluation of the effects of interferences is discussed and the sensitivities are given. The main features of the neutron generator fabricated in this Centre and used in this work are briefly described.
