limitations it imposes are first considered. The quantitative determination, without chemical separation, of the three elements which lend themselves particularly well to this technique because of the high energy of their gamma emission, is then described. It is Possible to detect 1 microgram of sodium or alumnum with a flux of 1O/sup 11/ n/cm//sup 2/sec and 100 milligrams of thorium, the sensitivity depending on the discrimnator threshold. The precision may be as good as 1% in the most favorable cases but is generally about 5%. Some possibilities of development of this method are then discussed. (tr- auth)
