Abstract

This table enables a quick estimate of the primary reaction interferences which can occur in 14-MeV neutron activation analysis for all determinable elements throughout the periodic system. Published experimental cross-sections, and cross-sections estimated by semiempirical formulae and systematics were used to calculate the ratio of the radioactivity produced from the element to be determined via the principal reaction and of the radioactivity produced via the primary interference reaction for three energy intervals between 14 MeV and 15 MeV. Also listed are the used cross-section data and abundances of the appropriate isotopes for both the element to be determined and the interfering element, as well as the half-lives of the indicator radionuclides.
