Abstract
The SLOWPOKE reactor at the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal has been u sed for neutron activation analysis since 1976. The reproducible neutr on flux in the five irradiation sites may be set to values between 10( 10) and 10(12) CM-2 S-1. Associated equipment includes versatile pneum atic sample transfer system and three germanium gamma-ray spectrometer s with mechanical sample changers. The laboratory is used by researche rs from several universities and by a variety of industries.
