Determination of the natural abundance of iron-58 by neutron activation analysis

  • 1. Bell Telephone Labs., Inc., Allentown, PA

Description

The natural abundance of iron-58 was determined by irradiation of an iron oxide (Fe2O3) sample highly enriched in 58Fe and of a sample of natural pure iron foil. Comparison was measured of the resulting 59Fe photopeak intensities. The resulting percentage, 0.283 +- 0.01, was used to calculate a new value of 1.33 b for the thermal cross section of 58Fe
