In a discussion of the suggestion that some elements, such as titanium and iron, might be determined with an activation analysis carried out with fast neutrons in a reactor, the advantages and disadvantages of such a scheme are reviewed. The radioisotopes of Ti, Fe, and Ni produced by neutron capture and by (n,p) reactions, and their half life and gamma energies are tabulated. In a comparison of the two types of analysis, a figure of merit-the product of natural abundance, cross section, and number of gamma transitions per nuclear disintegration-was introduced and tabulated for the three isotopes. These results indicate that neutron-induced threshold reactions may be appropriate in some cases for trace analysis. (J.S.R.)
