Abstract

The paper describes the software for automated quantitative determination of the mass fractions of elements in the samples under investigation based on the absolute method of neutron activation analysis. The software is used during NAA at the IBR-2 reactor and the IREN research facility in the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. The software can be used in any laboratories carrying out NAA.
