Description

DNAA is a method of neutron activation analysis for detection and qualification of fissile material in various types of samples by delayed neutron counting. DNAA offers significant advantages for screening of environmental samples due to the rapid, nondestructive, sensitive and interference free analysis at relatively low cost comparing to other screening methods. Technical cooperation on the delayed neutron activation analysis (DNAA) method is being implemented pursuant to the bilateral safeguards arrangement between the United States Department of Energy and the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Republic of Korea, and the technical training was conducted at ORNL during May, 2004. The system characteristics such as reproducibility and linear range of measurement, and swipe sample screening were performed during the training. The results will be presented in this paper
