T-his table provides the Radiation Center and reactor for instruction and training. a listing of the research and service projects carried out dur-ing this reporting period and lists information relating to the personnel and institution involved, the type of project, and the funding agency. Projects which used the reactor are indicated by an asterisk. In addition to identifying specific projects carried out during the current reporting period, Part Vi also highlights major Radiation Center capabilities in research and service.

These unique Center functions are described in the following text.

Neutron Activation Analysis Neutron activation analysis (NAA) stands at the forefront of techniques for the quantitative multi-element analysis of major, minor, trace, and rare elements. The principle involved in NAA consists of first irradiating a sample with neutrons in a nuclear reactor such as the OSTR to produce specific radionuclides. Af-ter the irradiation, the characteristic gamma rays emitted by the decaying radionuclides are quantitatively measured by suitable semiconductor radiation detectors, and the gamma rays detected at a particular energy are usually indicative of a specific radionu-cdde's presence. Computerized data reduction of the gamma ray spectra then yields the concentrations of the various elements in samples being studied. With sequential instrumental NAA it is possible to measure quantitatively about 35 elements in small 0 14-15 Annual Report

T-his table provides the Radiation Center and reactor for instruction and training. a listing of the research and service projects carried out dur-ing this reporting period and lists information relating to the personnel and institution involved, the type of project, and the funding agency. Projects which used the reactor are indicated by an asterisk. In addition to identifying specific projects carried out during the current reporting period, Part Vi also highlights major Radiation Center capabilities in research and service.

These unique Center functions are described in the following text.

Neutron Activation Analysis Neutron activation analysis (NAA) stands at the forefront of techniques for the quantitative multi-element analysis of major, minor, trace, and rare elements. The principle involved in NAA consists of first irradiating a sample with neutrons in a nuclear reactor such as the OSTR to produce specific radionuclides. Af-ter the irradiation, the characteristic gamma rays emitted by the decaying radionuclides are quantitatively measured by suitable semiconductor radiation detectors, and the gamma rays detected at a particular energy are usually indicative of a specific radionu-cdde's presence. Computerized data reduction of the gamma ray spectra then yields the concentrations of the various elements in samples being studied. With sequential instrumental NAA it is possible to measure quantitatively about 35 elements in small 0 14-15 Annual Report
