Determination of impurities in zircaloy clad by means of neutron activation analysis

  • 1. Nuclear Research Center, Baghdad (Iraq)

Description

A method is described for determining impurities in Zr-2 and Zr-4 clads by means of INAA followed by high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. The samples were irradiated in IRT-5000 using vertical channels and a pneumatic system with neutron fluxes of about 3 x 1013 and 4.8 x 1011 n x cm-2 x s-1, respectively, and counted using Ge(Li) detectors coupled to an on-line computer. The following impurities were determined: Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, As, Sn, Sb, Hf and W. (author) 8 refs.; 5 figs.; 4 tabs
