Title: Elemental Analyses of Hanford Surface Neutron Moisture Measurement Calibration Standard Samples

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/657828· OSTI ID:657828

Elemental analyses have been performed on twenty samples taken from the moisture standards prepared to use in performing experimental calibrations of the surface neutron moisture measurement system. These standards consisted of mixtures of sand, hydrated alumina, and boron carbide. Elemental analyses were performed primarily to discover the quantities of any strong thermal neutron absorbers that may have been present in the mixture in unknown trace quantities.
