COMPUTER COUPLED AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION ANALYSIS. Annual Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4843710
The continued investigation of automated activation analysis as a routine analytical tool is described. This investigation included the development and construction of an automatic gamma ray spectrometer with automatic sample handling and automatic data processing facilities. The preparation of samples in a suitable form for both activation and radioactivity measurements was investigated, together with the use of an accelerator-type neutron generator as an alternative to a reactor for activation purposes, in a computer coupled system. An alternative computer program, which allows more rapid computations in certain instances, was developed and tested. This program is capable of evaluating the analytical data from 10 samples in about one minute. Finally, further modifications and developments in computer coupled automatic activation analysis are discussed. (auth)
