Abstract

Soil samples from a waste water cleaning facility in Berlin, Germany, have been analyzed using several activation analysis methods. 43 elements have been determined by instrumental high energy photon activation analysis (PAA), instrumental thermal neutron activation analysis (NAA) and 14 MeV neutron activation analysis (fNAA). Conventional gamma ray spectroscopy and low energy photon spectroscopy (LEPS) have been applied for product activity measurement. It has turned out that these methods in combination offer a wide spectrum of analytical information.
