NONDESTRUCTIVE DETERMINATION OF TRACE AMOUNT OF MANGANESE IN STEEL BY NEUTRON ACTIVATION (in Japanese)

Journal Article · · Nippon Kinzoku Gakkai
OSTI ID:4088689
Trace amounts of manganese in steel was determined nondestructively by neutron activation analysis using the JRR-1 reactor (neutron flux: 1O/sup 11/n/cm/ sup 2/ - sec). The induced radioactivity of Mn/sup 56/ was measured with a well type scintillation counter and a gamma spectrometer. The agreement between neutron activation analysis and chemical analysis was within plus or minus 10%. The relative error due to counting fluctuation was 2% for 0.01 r of manganese (2 hr irradiation). In order to eliminate the influence due to the activity of Cu/ sup 64/, manganese activity was counted from 1 to 5 hr after the irradiation. (auth)
