Abstract
A newly established Fast Neutron Activation Analysis facility at the E nergy Research Laboratory is described. The facility mainly consists o f a fast neutron irradiation station and a gamma ray counting station. Both stations are connected by a fast pneumatic sample transfer syste m which transports the sample from the irradiation station to the coun ting station in a short time of 3 s. The fast neutron activation analy sis facility has been tested by measuring the Al-27(n, alpha)Na-24 and In-115(n, n')In-115m cross sections at 14.8 and 2.5 MeV neutron energ ies, respectively. Within the experimental uncertainties, the measured cross sections for these elements agree with the published values.
