Abstract
The reliability of the single comparator method depends mainly on the accuracy of k factors. This paper describes error in theoretical k factors, especially that due to the scattering in literature data for thermal and epithermal neutron activation cross-sections. Error calculations were performed for thirteen elements using comparator sets of60Co−198Au and95Zr−97Zr to evaluate the accuracy of this method.
