Abstract
A determination option for 238U in solutions by the neutron activation analysis was investigated. A radionuclide treatment based on 252Cf was used as a neutron source. The limit for the determination of uranium using thermal neutrons of 0.1 mg L-1 was determined within the research framework. With the help of preliminary concentration of the sample via the evaporation method, it is possible to further reduce the detection limit by 2-5 times. It is defined that the optimal time for measuring the induced activity of the sample, when working with a short-life isotope of 239U, is 30 min. The influence of the effects of scattering and self-absorption of gamma radiation of the uranium line 74.6 keV on the results of the neutron activation analysis is determined. The studies conducted made it possible to determine uranium by the neutron activation analysis method in solutions of various compositions, in a wide range of concentrations.
期刊介绍：
Nuclear Technology & Radiation Protection is an international scientific journal covering the wide range of disciplines involved in nuclear science and technology as well as in the field of radiation protection. The journal is open for scientific papers, short papers, review articles, and technical papers dealing with nuclear power, research reactors, accelerators, nuclear materials, waste management, radiation measurements, and environmental problems. However, basic reactor physics and design, particle and radiation transport theory, and development of numerical methods and codes will also be important aspects of the editorial policy.
