Description
Due to its simple, fast and accurate analytical features, delayed neutron activation analysis (DNAA) has been applied to assay total U mass fraction as well as screen fissile nuclides such as 235U and 239Pu in a variety of samples. Uranium can be present in water, air, food, and feed in varying concentrations through leaching from natural deposits such as soil or rocks, emission from the nuclear industry and the combustion of coal and other fuels. In this study, DNAA was applied for the determination of U mass fraction in environmental samples such as soil, sediment, sewage sludge and ashes from an incinerator and a coal power plant
