摘要
The accuracy of multielement quantitative determinations by parametric neutron activation analysis using Fe-Ru flux monitors is compared with that obtained by relative measurements using Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) from NBS. Agreement is good. Isotopes with a large ratio of resonance integral/thermal cross section require empirical correction factors. Deviation of the resonance flux in the reactor reflectors from a 1/E distribution appears responsible for at least part of the necessary corrections. The correction factors were found invariant from reactor to reactor. Molybdenum and certain rare earths can be determined by parametric counting in the presence of comparable amounts of uranium; interference by fission products is eliminated by calculations including the fission yields. © 1979, American Chemical Society.
