Epiboron Neutron Activation Analysis with Nigeria Research Reactor - 1

Abstract

Epiboron neutron activation analysis is optimized using Nigeria Research Reactor-1. Data are given for 6 elements using boron as shielding. Boron shield are of particular practical value for rapid instrumental analysis. Advantage factors for the following elements: I, Br, Cl, K, Mn and Na under boron shield are given. Concentrations of the mentioned elements is reexamined and compared with certificate values. The results obtained, showed good precision.

Keywords: Epiboron Neutron Activation, Nigeria Research Reactor-1, Boron shield, Boron Ratio and Quality control assurance.
