Abstract
In order to provide a tailored solution for the correction of the 235U interference in k0-NAA, fission k0-factors for the analytically relevant radionuclides/gamma-lines (versus gold as the comparator), are experimentally determined in four channels of the Gent THETIS reactor. A comparison is made with former data from the literature. The new evaluated results are to be implemented in the forthcoming upgrade of the DSMKayzero software package for k0-NAA.
