Description

Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is used to determine the concentration of trace and major elements in a variety of matrices. k0-standardization has been implemented at TRIGA 14MW reactor. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that with k0-standardization the highest accuracy and precision can be ensured for certifying stainless steels as CRMs. Results of content of major and trace elements in two standard stainless steels samples denominated as HAAS-1 and ECRM379-1 supplied by KIMAB are presented. The experimental results are compared with the values from certificate of analysis. Thin foils with low concentration alloys were used to minimize self-shielding effects (Al-1%Mn and Al-1%Au). The values of f and a obtained in this way were used to calculate element concentration in stainless steel samples. (authors)
