Abstract

The applicability of a 400 kV neutron generator in the elemental analysis of dry biological material is considered. Data for the specific count-rates of 66 elements are given. A procedure for the determination of N, Mg, Si, P, K and Ca is described. The results for three Standard Reference Materials and some samples are given.
