Abstract
Gamma-ray self-absorption in stainless steel samples has been studied with an experimental method based on fast neutron activation and a Mon te Carlo calculation technique adapted to the experimental conditions. A relation between self-absorption and absorption of gamma-photons in side stainless steel samples was found. The influence of the gamma-ray energy and sample depth have been investigated. Agreement between the two methods has been found.
