Abstract

The effect of following interferences was quantitatively assessed in terms of interference factor by irradiating samples together with highly pure reagents at two reactor sites of diferent neutron spectra and fluxes for neutron activation analysis (NAA) and an electron LINAC for photon activation analysis (PAA). The interfering reactions studied are 91) fast neutron-induced reactions, (2) uranium fission (3) (n,γ) reactions of other target elements in NAA, and (4) reactions induced by secondary neutrons in PAA. Corrections for these interferences were successfully applied to the activation analysis of some geological reference rock samples and biological samples.
