Abstract

A method for determination of aluminum and phosphorus in biological materials, based on activation in a nuclear reactor and measurement of 28A1, produced by the 27A1(n, γ)28A1 and 31P(n, α)28A1 reactions, is described. Irradiations in the undisturbed and epicadmium spectra provide a two-equation system in order to determine the contributions of aluminum and phosphorus to the total activities. Germanium is used as an integral flux monitor and comparator, through the reactions: 74Ge(n,γ)75Ge, 76Ge (n,γ)77Ge, and 72Ge (n,p)72Ga.Index EntriesAluminumphosphorusactivation analysisbiological materialsnuclear reactorsgermaniumneutron flux.
