Further Development of Automatic Activation Analysis System (AAAS) with Fast Neutrons

Improvement of results of activation analysis has been achieved by using a device for simultaneous rotation of the sample around tow axes: one parallel and the other perpendicular to the target during the irradiation. A change of the construction of the container resulted in the increase of its volume and a decrease in the mean sample-to-target distance. The distribution of the neutron flux along the axis of the container during the irradiation has been measured. An arrangement for automatic loading and unloading of sample is also described.
