Development and implementation of the k(0)-standardization and other parametric methods of INAA in Cuba. Part I

This paper explains chronologically the implementation of the k(0)-standard ization and other parametric methods in Cuba. Fundamental and applied resul ts in the determination of the most important parameters are obtained, usin g the IBR-2 at Dubna and Triga Mark III at Mexico reactor facilities. Some modifications in the Stoughton-Halpering convention, and its comparison wit h the modified Westcott and Hogdahl method are presented. The application o f the described methods at the CS-ISCTN low flux facility, using the big sa mples techniques, is presented.
