Description

A long-lived cosmogenic nuclide, 53Mn, in extra-terrestrial materials has been determined using DR-1 hole of the JRR-3M reactor, applying well thermalized neutron flux. According to our preliminary experiments, the irradiation conditions were indicated as the function of locations in the capsule. The neutron flux intensities were variable with the depths whereas the fast/thermal ratios are not quite variable. Therefore the most convenient position for the samples was the very bottom in the lowest capsule. By this method, 53Mn contents in iron meteorites, metal phases of chondrites, and those of pallasites could be routinely determined in many samples. (J.P.N.)
