Abstract
The high thermal neutron flux provided by the CIRUS reactor (1x10(13)n cm(-2)s(-1)) has been used to determine elements having long half-liv es or poor thermal neutron cross-sections. Selective cooling time and the use of a high resolution HPGe detector in conjunction with a PC ba sed MCA unit have made it possible to analyze many elements in a singl e irradiation run. The method developed has been used for the analysis of ores such as Ilmenite, Rutile; Sillimanite, Garnet, Zircon and Mon azite.
