Abstract

The natural relative abundance of iron-58 has been determined by neutron activation analysis using Fe2O3 enriched in the isotope as comparator standard. The value obtained is 0.280∓0.003%. This result, while confirming a recent work, differs significantly from that listed by most commonly used reference tabulations.
