Irradiation and gamma-ray spectrometric parameters for 129I neutron activation analysis

Description

This paper describes the influence of reactor neutron irradiation facilities on low-level 129I analysis methodology. Three reactors are compared - the HFIR at ORNL, the N-Reactor at Hanford, and a 1-MW research reactor at Washington State University, Pullman, WA. Parameters compared include sensitivity for 129I and natural iodine and interference effects due to high levels of 127I in irradiated samples. Selection of detector systems for off-site use at HFIR is discussed. A comparison of neutron activation analysis with other sensitive detection methods for measurement of 129I is given
