“…The assessed data of the studied plants were compared with those provided by the World Health Organization (WHO)/FAO. The typical consumption values per day and per person for essential and toxic elements contained in those plants were determined assuming an intake of 10 g (dry weight) of the studied plant ration per person [24]. The probable intake estimation of the plants indicated that the contents of toxic elements (As, Br, Sb) are well below toxicological reference values provided by the WHO/FAO and were found within nutritional recommendation values; thus, the studied plant toxic effects are considered negligible.…”

In this study, two kinds of Artemisia plant, Artemisia campestris L. and Artemisia herba-alba Asso., collected from different locations in Djelfa province, Algeria, were subjected to an instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) in order to determine their essential and toxic elements for the first time. The obtained results for both types revealed the existence of twenty-one elements, namely, As,

Participation in inter-comparison programs is an important process to enhance the accuracy and precision of the analytical techniques used in the laboratories. At Es-Salam Research Reactor, our laboratory uses two functional analytical techniques such as INAA and k 0 -INAA in the research projects and for the completion of the service works. Recently, our laboratory has participated in two inter-comparison tests organized by IAEA within the framework of the AFRA project to assess the analytical performance of eighteen (18)

“…In this work, we have used the INAA technique to analyse the traditional medicinal seeds prescribed for specific treatment purposes, were purchased from local markets [43]. The samples were irradiated at Es-Salam research reactor, at a power of 5 MW for 6 h. The accuracy of the method was established by analyzing reference materials.…”

Nowadays, there are many elemental analysis methods that use chemical, physical and nuclear characteristics. However, a particular method may be favoured for a specific task, depending on the purpose. Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is very useful as sensitive analytical technique for performing both qualitative and quantitative multielemental analysis of major, minor and traces components in variety of terrestrial samples and extra-terrestrial materials. In addition, because of its accuracy and reliability, NAA is generally recognized as the "referee method" of choice when new procedures are being developed or when other methods yield results that do not agree. It is usually used as an important reference for other analysis methods. Worldwide application of NAA is so widespread it is estimated that approximately 100,000 samples undergo analysis each year. The method is based on conversion of stable atomic nuclei into radioactive nuclei by irradiation with neutrons and subsequent detection of the radiation emitted by the radioactive nuclei and its identification. The basic essentials required to carry out an analysis of samples by NAA are a source of neutrons, instrumentation suitable for detecting gamma rays, and a detailed knowledge of the reactions that occur when neutrons interact with target nuclei. Brief descriptions of the NAA method, reactor neutron sources, and gammaray detection are given below.
