Abstract

A cyclic activation analysis method with a 100 μg252Cf source was developed for the determination of low concentrations of fluorine in glasses containing high concentrations of oxygen. Factors influencing errors in the analysis were investigated quantitatively. The activation cross-section of19F(n, α)16N for252Cf fission neutrons was determined. A brief description is given of the cyclic activation, analysis apparatus, and also the modified optimization of the cyclic operation. The usefulness of the analysis is demonstrated by application to a fluorine volatilization study.
