Neutron Activation Analysis at the A.A.E.C. Research Establishment

Creators

  • 1. Australian Atomic Energy Commission Research Establishment (Australia)

Description

A thermal neutron, self-service irradiation facility in HIFAR located in the graphite reflector. Twelve tubes, six with a flux of 5 x 1012 n.cm.-2sec.-1 and six with a flux of 1012 n.cm.-2 sec.-1. The gamma flux is estimated to be in the range 0.5 x 106 to 0.5 x 107 rads per hour. The irradiation containers or ''rabbits'' are of aluminium or of polypropylene. With polypropylene rabbits the maximum irradiation exposure allowed is 2 hours. The size of the rabbits : 1.8 cm. diameter and 4 cm. length. Liquid or potentially volatile samples are sealed in silica capsules and have to pass a pre-irradiation heat test (>200°C)
