Abstract
The ''k(0)-method'' of neutron activation analysis has been tested for applicability to the determination of trace elements in samples of th yroids of inhabitants from regions in Belarus affected to different de gree by thyroid cancer among children after the accident of the Cherno byl power plant. It is shown that the k(0)-method produces results ide ntical to the ''relative method'' in neutron activation analysis. Sign ificant differences in the elemental composition of thyroids from the regions of Gomel and Minsk an: observed and may be related to the diff erent levels of occurrence of thyroid cancer among children.
