Description
Determination of 53Mn in meteorites by neutron activation analysis requires a thermal neutron flux high enough to ensure adequate production of 54Mn from 53Mn with a sufficiently low fast neutron component to minimize its production through fast neutron reactions. Thermal and fast neutron fluxes were mapped as a function of sample position within the NIST research reactor in order to determine the optimum position for irradiation of 53Mn.
