Ss. Narkhede et Zr. Turel, INSTRUMENTAL NEUTRON-ACTIVATION ANALYSIS OF LANTHANIDES AND OTHER ELEMENTS EMPLOYING CIRUS REACTOR AS A THERMAL-NEUTRON SOURCE, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 201(4), 1995, pp. 355-360
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.
