Use of Multiple Irradiations and Reference Materials as Comparators in Quality Control of Neutron Activation Analysis Data of Biological Samples

Abstract

We propose that several different reactor irradiation times followed by assaying of activity for differential counting periods may be employed for quality control (QC) of neutron activation analysis (NAA) data of biological samples. It is also recommended that three to four Reference Materials (RMs) of similar matrix but from different agencies such
