Performance of the updated inaa advance prediction computer program

This paper describes further development and experimental testing of the INAA Advance Prediction Computer Program (APCP). Copies of the APCP written in BASIC-PLUS are finally ready for distribution. Experimental tests with four reference materials are described. The program is extremely useful as a quide to optimum conditions, sample sizes, elements detectable, and INAA lower limits, of detection for any sample matrix of only approximately known major and minor elemental composition. Additional developments in progress are mentioned.
