THIRTY-TWO fragments of Roman samian ware have been analysed for their sodium and manganese content, using neutron activation and γ-ray spectrometry. They were chosen from at least 10 of about 30 ...

Recently neutron activation analysis has been used with some success to distinguish between specimens of ancient pottery 1–5 and glass 6. Differences in concentrations of trace elements in ...

isotope production and neutron activation analysis, according to a press release. The AECL maintained that the SLOWPOKE family of reactors is the ‘safe by physics’ characteristics of the ...

He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of these ideas. Chadwick kept the problem in the back of his mind while working on other things.

A 1-Megawatt research reactor produces thermal neutrons for radioactivation purposes and for digital neutron radiography. Fast neutrons for atomic displacement research are produced by both the ...

It was designed by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) in the 1960s for neutron activation analysis, trace radioisotope production and as a tool for teaching nuclear science and engineering. AECL said ...

Neutron-Activation Analysis This powerful analytic tool is now routinely used in a wide range of disciplines to measure the concentrations of trace elements, often in amounts less than a billionth ...
