Abstract
An irradiation position in the 250 kW Triga reactor was characterized for i nstrumental neutron activation analysis of chlorine in an iron oxide matrix . Factors that affect the accuracy of the determination include variations in the reactor neutron spectrum and flux as a function of spatial position and the presence of chlorine impurities. Gold wire and foils were used to d etermine the neutron flux and cadmium ratio as a function of height in an a ir-filled irradiation tube.
