Résumé

Ouelques caractéristiques du réacteur nucléaire NBSR utilisé pour l'analyse par activation neutronique ont été évaluées; les techniques de mesure développées sont décrites. La discussion porte sur les caractéristiques suivantes: (1) le flux de neutrons thermiques absorbés par le cadmium, (2) la distribution énergétique des neutrons mesurée grâce aux rapports cadmium et à des détecteurs à seuil. L'excès de pression dans les échantillons engendre l'irradiation.
