Abstract
Irradiation of known foil samples in a reactor and subsequent measurement of induced activity allows determination of neutron flux. This is an important information for many purposes. It can be used reciprocally to determine contents of unknown samples irradiated at the same position in the reactor. On the other hand, neutron flux information is used in the assessment of a safe operation of nuclear power reactors. In the frame of this work, bare and cadmium covered foils of gold and dysprosium have been irradiated at different positions of the reactor. Induced activity measurements were made using a standard procedure. Thermal neutron flux and cadmium ratio values were determined for the irradiation positions.
