Accuracy in Short Half-Life INAA-II: Sediment Analysis

Conference ·
OSTI ID:786646
This paper will describe the application of high-accuracy instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) using short half-life activation products to the determination of multiple trace elements and minor constituents in a real sample, with the quality assurance techniques used to minimize analytical uncertainty. In particular, this paper will describe the methods and techniques used to make INAA measurements good to 1 to 3% accuracy when counting statistics are not limiting.
