Description

Neutron activation analysis has been investigated as an in situ method for determination of 90Sr. The thermal neutron capture cross-section for the 90Sr(n,γ)91Sr reaction has been measured to be 14.0+-2.4 mb which is in disagreement with the currently accepted literature value. The suitability of this reaction and the fast neutron reactions, 90Sr(n,p)90Rb and 90Sr(n,α)87Kr, for the in situ determination of 90Sr is discussed. (author)
