Description

The k0-INRIM software was developed at INRIM to perform k0-standardization Neutron Activation Analysis and evaluate combined uncertainty through application of the spreadsheet method. However, the presence of some limitation made its use, as a tool for routine NAA, impractical. With the aim to participate to the 2021 IAEA k0-NAA software intercomparison to evaluate the effect on mass fraction results due to software used, the k0-INRIM was sizably updated in order to meet the agreed functionality requirements to take part to the exercise. In this work, the version 2.0 of the software is presented and a point-by-point example analysis is displayed. The software version here described is available for download together with the corresponding updated user's manual. (author)
